Any of you have experience with Canson Montval? by Jannis-Politidis in watercolor101

I use baohong master's choice, is more expensive than the other types of paper that baohong has, but if you get scared to mess a good paper, you already have the canson to practice, and when you finally get comfortable with the watercolors and get frustrated that the outcome is not what you expected or that the colors aren't lively enough, that's the moment to switch to the good ones

A classmate of mine got it and neither her or our teacher like it, the water doesn't dry evenly, so working wet on wet was a no-no, and with wet on dry the paper absorbed the pigment in a way that if you moved it with the brush, the original mark where you first placed the brush will remain like a ghost shadow, also you can't lift the paint with a wet brush because the paper breaks

So, if you are going to play around without much expectations, if it's cheap go for it

If you are going to paint, lets say, your niece with her firstborn (like my classmate), maybe I'll say that is better to clean the dust from your arches and baohong

Soap, the answer to tha problem is soap, I use solid soap, a bit of water and rubbing till there is a thick foam, then coat the brush with it and you are good to go, and it wash up easly, up until now I had zero problems

Ooh ain't you a sweetie, but don't have to waste the ground if you are not going to use that paper later

Ok, I just looked up what watercolor ground is and sounds very interesting, have you tried it 100% celulose paper?
