In my experience, Bristol is fine for mixed media where you use watercolor washes as a base for other media (colored pencils, in my case). I feel it absorbs water media too quickly. Arches board is more versatile, even if you make a mistake you can just apply a lot of water and blot it out. And the best part is, it doesn't buckle.

I am finishing a graphite work so I still have not tried the bristol for watercolors. And I'm also scared to use it for washes, honestly. Thanks for sharing what you know.

Incredible. There's actually more that I'd like to say about it, but my brain keeps tripping over the words and honestly, I'd rather continue looking at this. There's so much to see here.
