As you can see from
previous posts, I have been experimenting with various water- based media
including watercolor, gouache, water soluble pencils, and pens and markers
lately. This means I have also been trying out several types of paper to see
which ones are able to handle wet media without disintegrating. Before I get
into the actual brands and types of papers, however, I would like to share a
little bit of information about choosing an appropriate paper for your
project. This post is going to be the first of two to keep the information
more concise and easier to read.
