Understanding the 3 surfaces or textures of watercolour paper
Rough – A pronounced, varied texture, great for a textured loose feel.
Cold-pressed (NOT) – It’s the paper texture in-between rough and hot-pressed paper, having a slightly textured surface this paper is sometimes called NOT.
Hot-pressed (HP) – Watercolour paper with a very smooth surface and almost no tooth. Good for painting detailed paintings and creating very smooth washes.
The Not stands for “Not Hot pressed”
Azariah –
Paper is part of an artwork, and good quality paper is one of the most important ingredients for good paintings. I like the suede-like feel, and creamy-white colour of the paper. It is very absorbent, and when stretched, does not buckle when applying multiple glazes. It doesn’t buckle too much when painting alla prima. I have used other brands like Arches, but this is my favourite brand.
