Types of Watercolour Paper

You can get many types of watercolour paper to suit your individual ability. When you are just playing around with watercolours you may just choose to go with very thin cartridge paper or possibly even standard printer paper. This is all perfectly fine although the quality of your painting will be very limited. As you get more experienced with watercolour painting you can get thicker paper, this could start from around 90lbs to what professional artists use - 140lbs. Brands are up to you but I would recommend Windsor and Newton. One other brand you could go for is Royal and Langnickel.
