Papers

● A Mixed Media Paper Pad is great for beginners. Feel free to play with paper types. You can use watercolor paper, mixed media paper, or illustration board with gouache. By using these surfaces, you can ensure your paper doesn’t buckle when applying lots of water with your gouache. Heavier watercolor paper (140 lb/300 gsm or higher) is recommended to prevent buckling when applying large amounts of water with gouache. These options offer different textures and can differing absorption effects.
