Watercolour Tips for Paper from a Pad: Tape Down the Paper: Although the pad holds the paper in place, for works involving a lot of water (like large washes), it is a good idea to tape down the edges of a single sheet to a board. This ensures the paper remains completely flat as it dries.Utilise the Paper's Texture: Let the natural surface of the paper work for you. Try the dry brush technique to emphasize the paper's texture and create lively surfaces on subjects like rocks or tree bark.Test Lifting Colour: A 240 gsm paper should be able to handle gentle lifting of colour. While the paint is still damp, you can use a clean, squeezed-out brush or a sponge to "lift" off colour and create highlights.Let Layers Dry: If you are painting in layers (glazing), let the previous layer dry completely. This prevents the colours from becoming muddy and preserves their vibrancy. Available in sizes A5, A4, and A3.
