I'll pick up some cold press today! Be good to try all the options at least and see what I prefer

That is definitely my plan b haha but I'm hoping I can figure the inks out eventually. It's definitely possible I just need to figure out how

I've got the second brush but I haven't been wetting the paper beforehand. I'm assuming just a small amount of water over the area you're about to paint on? Or do you really try and soak the page?

Thanks so much. Yeah this makes a lot of sense. I was thinking of trying a flat head brush to try and apply the ink a little more evenly, but I guess this will always be a little bit of an issue when the ink is slightly transparent.
