Woah this is amazing! So helpful! Especially as I've been thinking of diving into watercolour recently...but I haven't been able to decide what paper to use. I think I will definitely try your suggestion (there are so many to choose from it's confusing!) Thank you so much for this! C:

Ohgosh thank you! I'm so glad you find it helpful! Paper is like, the most frustrating thing about watercolor...for me anyway xD I tried soooo many things and would get so frustrated with them. I hate paper texture (weird, I know... xD) so after I discovered there was more to the watercolor world than the standard cold press paper, things really took off!  I can't wait to see some of your watercolor work!

You're welcome c: it must have taken you ages to put together! If you ever do another one, like others have said, you should charge a bit for it! It's so detailed, you deserve it. You could always give a preview and charge for the full download. I can't wait to give it a go, plus it's an excuse for me to buy proper watercolours too
