Hey guys this week we are focusing on
watercolor this is going to be a

two-part tutorial this week we'll start
with all the supplies that you need to

be successful with watercolor painting
and then a few weeks from now I'm going

to produce a techniques watercolor video
so look out for that one and make sure

you watch until the end of today's
tutorial because there is a super

giveaway this is an awesome prize pack
especially if you're a watercolor artist

or getting started in watercolor
so watch to the end of the video for

Guys I just want to take a sec to say
thank you to everyone who's supporting

me on patreon you guys are awesome and
this week because we're doing watercolor

supplies I've released a whole pack of
watercolor clipart it's hand painted by

me flowers leaves everything you need to
create beautiful watercolor inspired

blog headers landing pages you can use
this for your social media graphics so

go get that now it's all available for a
$2 donation on my patreon site so I'm

going to start today's video with what I
think is the most important of

watercolor painting supplies and that is
watercolor paper now even if you're

painting with watercolor paints that you
made out of kool-aid or coffee or I

don't know whatever you still want good
quality watercolor paper because part of

the painting process is really all about
how the paint absorbs into that paper

and as we all know thin paper like
computer paper buckles when it gets wet

and that's what you really don't want so
we're gonna have a long talk of a good

watercolor paper
now I just received these beautiful

pads of watercolor paper from Canson
there are a hundred percent cotton and

we'll talk about what that means and I
have one to give away as part of our

prize pack for today so make sure you
watch till the end of today's tutorial

for the giveaway okay so there's a lot
of info out there about paper but it

doesn't need to be confusing and
everything you need to know about the

paper that you're buying is contained
right here on the front cover so we're

gonna sort of go through this label and
demystify it so first of all what's easy

okay twelve sheets we know what that
means we've got twelve pieces of paper

this one is ten by fourteen inches I do
like to typically by larger pads of

nine by twelve I can still cut it in
half and get two useable sheets they're

four different pieces of works that's
why I usually buy large and next piece

of information it says a hundred percent
cotton and that means that this paper is

artist quality so paper that is pH
neutral acid-free and 100 percent cotton

it's not going to deteriorate or yellow
over time the way an old newspaper does

and that's important if you're selling
your work so you know if you're just

painting and scanning it into the
computer and making clipart or you're

just practicing you can purchase student
quality paper that does contain acid and

you don't need to worry about it and you
can save the money but if you're making

work that you want to hold on to that
you want to pass down that you want to

sell even if you're producing prints so
you're printing your work out onto

watercolor paper and you need to make
sure that it's a hundred percent cotton

and so that time won't cause any trouble
next piece of info 300 grams per meter

squared or a hundred and forty pound we
have the weight of the paper and that

will always be listed on the front and
GSM means gram per meter squared and

pounds means pounds per ream of paper so
140 pound is a pretty typical weight and

it's the one that I paint with often
typically you're gonna see these four

weights ninety pounds or 190 GSM that's
a really thin it's good for making

prints 140 pounds is a good weight
I think it's recommended that you do

still stretch 140 pound paper and I have
a video all about that that I'll link in

the description
next would be 260 pound most people

would say at that point it's not as
necessary to stretch your paper now it's

gonna cost you more but it's sort of
nice you can skip that step and then 300

pound being typically the most
commercially produced or machine

produced heaviest paper and it's very
thick and dense I use 140 pound because

it's so available being one of the
machine produced weights and being on

the lighter and it's gonna be a good
price point and since I'm not doing

landscapes or something where I'm
putting tons of color on there and doing

lots of washes I think I think I can get
away without stretching it but I guess

that's a personal choice we'll call it
okay and then last thing probably the

most important is this word right in the
middle and that is rough and there are

three types of watercolor paper there's
rough paper cold pressed and hot pressed

and those words refer to the type of
surface that you're going to be painting

on now rough paper such as this has a
prominent tooth and a textured surface

when you paint on it you're going to
sort of get a grainy effect and you'll

get a nice pooling of the paint rough
paper is good for wet on wet and it's

also good for building up washes of
color it can absorb a lot of paint and

it's nice for dry brushing because of
that texture if you want to do clouds or

trees you can dry brush and you can pick
up that texture and use it to your

advantage one sort of drawback I guess
would be that it can be hard to control

those small delicate brush strokes
because the surface is so toothy so just

something to think about
next we have hot pressed paper and hot

pressed is at the other end of the
spectrum it has a fine grain and a

smooth surface it's not very good for
building up multiple washes and colors

because very little pigment gets beyond
the surface of the paper the paper sort

of gets overloaded and that has to do
with how much pressure is applied in the

making of the paper and how close the
cotton fibers are so you can see here on

this hot pressed paper the painting is a
little bit flat the paint doesn't have

anywhere to go but on a rough paper the
paint and water can seep down in between

those cotton fibers which are farther
apart so it's better for ink pen and ink

for gouache and I don't use it very
often because it can be hard to build up

nice amounts of color and you certainly
don't get that beautiful watercolor

texture that you desire now the one
positive here is that it's really nice

for scanning into a computer so if
you're doing a lot of watercolor that

you want to use online say for your blog
header using a hot pressed paper means

that you're not picking up all that
shadowy texture in your scanner when you

go to use this as a graphic so that's
something to think about but then again

you don't get the beautiful watercolor
look so this one I'd consider it much

much better for pen and ink okay and
then in the middle we have our

Goldilocks paper and that is cold
pressed and it

is in between rough and hot pressed so
you get a nice textured paper that's not

overly rough so it's good for doing
small detail but it's also good for

doing washes and building up color it's
the choice of many artists because it is

the best of both worlds and it's truly
my favorite paper and the one that

you'll see me use over and over again on
the channel the last thing you want to

consider when it comes to paper is do
you want to stretch your paper it's

always a good idea to do so I'm a very
lazy artist and I rarely do that but

there is one product that can help with
that and that is a watercolor paper
