Best paper for beginners and experienced painters
Don't even try watercolor without a decent watercolor paper- it's just too frustrating. You can get by with cheaper paint and brushes, but you need good paper. This is the exact paper I use for all my beginner classes, but it's also the paper I enjoy painting with every day. I might upgrade for something really special, but 95% of what I paint is on Strathmore 300 series 140lb paper. This is usually the best price around and I love that this is sheets and not a pad of paper. (A block of paper is nice, but why would anyone want a pad- attached on only one end?)
Thank you for your feedback
