Giving my honest thoughts on each of the watercolor papers I’ve used both when learning how to use the medium and when becoming a professional needing quality paper for finished pieces. Includes my recommendations for both the most affordable but quality paper and what I use professionally. I know hot pressed watercolor paper isn’t as popular as cold pressed but for those looking for what brands to try, feel free to stick around.
