Thank you for watching! Yes, those papers are so very different - it’s like I have to re-learn how to handle watercolour 😀 Glad you’ve found the video useful.

What a great demo!! They look really different, especially with the hardness vs softness of the edges of the paint strokes and how much the paints blend on their own. Thanks for posting this!

Thank you for watching 😊 They are such different papers in the way watercolours behave on the surface - it was quite eye-opening to do it side by side

To me the hot press helps produce a painting far superior to cold press. Thank you for your time and effort. Happy New Year! 🎊

Very useful. I prefer cold press for the blooms but it depends on your style or your subject.

Thank you - glad you find this video useful. I paint mostly on cold press but it is so much fun to see how differently the paint behaves on hot press.

so nice to see both at once :-) I love both, but like the hot pressed more, I love painting with hot pressed at the time, too!

This is incredibly helpful! The Baohong Academy papers have been my main practice papers and I have been eyeing the Master’s Choice for a while now. As always your uploads inspire me to pick up the brush in the middle of the night again!

So glad to know you find it helpful! I love Baohong Academy, it is such great paper. Master’s Choice is a step up but I didn’t find that big of a difference between the two (which means that Academy is amazing!). Cold Press Master’s Choice has a more pronounced texture which I like.

@@AnastasiaMily Have to agree, I’ve been using the Baohong Academy blocks for about a year, as you say the Masters Choice is only a slight step up which makes the Academy paper amazing value especially if you buy it on sale 😉

great work, thank you!

I have tried to paint along with some of your videos using hot press. I was perplexed at the results I was getting even though I was using mostly the same paints. I had no idea the paper would yield such different results (particularly the sky which I found to be the case myself).

Yes that is the beauty of it - the paints behave in a very random manner on hot press 😀 Every painting is unique!

Very interesting! With such a lose painting style I discovered that I actually prefer smoother surface texture of the paper because I like to have some harder edges. I never tried real hot pressed paper, but even between the Canson Montval (much smoother) and the Arches there is a big difference (even if both are called cold pressed).

I totally agree - each brand’s paper is unique. And hot press is so fun for those unexpected results and edges. I love seeing what watercolours can do on different surfaces, there is always this element of surprise ✨

Thank you for watching! It is definitely harder to paint wet into wet on hot press. I find it is more suitable for delicate wet on dry washes…

Funny, I actually preferred the end result on hot press. More fluid and natural result imo

Nice comparison, I like the result you achieved on hot press 🙏 I like hot press for gouache but find it difficult to paint wet into wet watercolour on. There’s an artist on KZread Liron Yanconsky who is very good at using hot pressed paper for watercolour portraits etc. in a loose style.

I bought a block of rough baohong watercolor paper (maters choice greg allen size) a few weeks ago and while I love the paper texture and quality of the paper, I find it wraps terribly. I don’t know if there is an issue with that particular block or what but I am pretty disappointed in that since the whole idea of getting and paying extra for a block is to avoid the warping. Other than that, great paper.

@AnastasiaMily

This is so strange! I've never experienced excessive warping with Baohong blocks. So sorry your one behaves that way. I have used rough paper, not in that size though (I've used both smaller and bigger sizes), and while there can be slight warping if I am using a lot of water the paper always returns to its shape after it dries. Maybe you can leave some feedback with the store you bought it from?
