Watercolor Paper👉 Baohong Watercolor Paper 300GSM / Cold press 380 x 560 pack of 10 (Academy Level)

[@user-rq3cc2td8r]

you can also find this rebranded by Meeden, in case Baohong is not available. Another alternative I really like is from New York Central Art supply. Also very good✌🏼

[@DianaECohen1224]

@user-rq3cc2td8r I use New York Central alot but I mostly buy watercolor paper by the roll

[@watercolourmark]

How is the cotton sourced in China? Is it from slave camps?

[@slvva]

Why support the Chinese economy? Sorry but no.

[@heatherhoward2513]

I used this paper at a class, I hated it. Prefer arches or fabriano.

[@alejandromorales9516]

For my purposes BaoHong Academy is a perfect every day paper. I have it in sheets, blocks, sketchbooks ... it's just great.

[@Gnomesaying315]

I've used this paper and it is my favorite 100% cotton paper.

[@jamessaretta8278]

Baohong is amazing paper !

[@amyschmidt1113]

Beautiful painting, thank you for sharing!

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

I get the 10 metre rolls of artist cold pressed and cut it to size ..Amazing paper and great value

[@Bigwizrd]

I love the atmosphere of your new studio!!

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Thank you! Its really peaceful in here😇

[@sherryfurr9115]

I have been using it for over two years and introduced it to my friend, a professional artist, who is now using it. It compares very favorably to Arches, Fabriano and Winsor and Newton. The only thing some people might not like is the texture if they want a very smooth surface. Arches, in the past, was the gold standard as you know. But in today’s market there are many comparable papers.

[@Nancy-tr5fi]

They make a very smooth hot press that I draw on, watercolors....

[@dawn4224]

The basis for your strong art is that you draw so very well. So essential! Plus you have such a great color control.

[@augustoluna5577]

It is a really good paper.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Without a doubt

[@creativecolours2022]

Hi Niaz. This looks like a very high quality paper. The way though you handle it, fold it with bare hands and crease it with your finger nails is not right. You risk to ruin the sizing of the paper, scratch it and leave finger prints on it that will repel the watercolour paint. Use a bone folder for this job.

[@gilliancook1276]

Love this paper. Its my go-to now.

[@katallen7961]

I love that you are now explaining your methods in the video. Very nice. I wish just having the paper would have me painting as well as you do. Excellent.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Thank you😇

[@lindathaxton1994]

As always beautiful to watch your process & enjoy the results!

[@sue8237]

Beautiful piece. Looks like an old photograph. You are really talented.

[@jimlazos8770]

Don’t forget, the Chinese invented paper. I used this paper and liked it though I use their rough texture more. If you buy the blocks you will find that the glue is very strong and doesn’t come loose while you are working which is something I found with other brands. Each block even comes with a plastic knife to separate the pieces. The paper itself is very tough and holds up to scrubbing better than other brands I’ve tried. The rough is probably the roughest of papers, 0:03 which I personally like. The price is great, too.

[@sarahberry3819]

Agree 100%. Thats what I have found a well

[@annipetratos9401]

Wow... amazing picture.... Made me laugh when you used your waterspray for your plant 🪴😀

[@johnwoodcock6468]

Beautiful mate. Very good.ispiring

[@elaineg60]

My favorite too! Just fyi, Baohong has these VERY useful, inexpensive ($11) “Sample book”, about 4x5 inches, connected on one side with adhesive, 18 pages, 6 CP, 6 HP and 6 rough.. I’ve been collecting them for a few years..connected 2 together with duct tape and made a hardish cover from a cereal box. I’ve made 1 a Master swatch book…using a stamp, could put 2 on each sheet, front and back. Another one I made to put small mixing charts and “recipe’s” for some of my favorite mixes. They’re also GREAT to separate…I put my heavily granulating and separating paints and mixes on the rough..and several I just made into small sketch books, again, putting 2 together and making covers. I made some for my daughter and best friend-to fit their particular needs. My friend wanted ONLY HP and Rough, while my daughter prefers only CP!

[@ilonavandertang-vos2198]

I've used Baohong before, and it is really good. I switched to a cheaper but adequate alternative only out of need to save money. Also, I have never seen that paper dividing technique. I'll have to try that out!

[@Nikke283]

Well, well. I guess I have this paper already at home. It seems to be nice, but did you notice that "mini dots" I mean not the ones from a (probably dripping) brush or the ones you're actively doing for style. I'm talking about "mysteriously" appearing ones when you start to secondly wash your foreground water. It really concerns me. I haven't had that before.

[@gigiartstudiowithartistvir3919]

That sounds like a sizing problem.

[@letym2271]

Those are most probably from the white gouache he uses for speckles at the end of his pieces. Not the paper. :)

Agreed. Though if you check out Sergio Aranda Art he is equally mesmerising!

[@askialuna7717]

Congratulation for you to found a paper that is ideal for you. I'll probably try it out at some point, I still have a lot of paper at the moment. My go to that don't have such high standard prices are Fabriano Rosapina 60% cotton and Tiepollo 100%, these are actually papers for printing art, but also work well for watercolours and are between cold pressed and hot pressed. Vang Provonce 100% Cotton and torchon. Vang Cascade Hot pressed or Fabriano Design no5 50% cotton for hot pressed paper, Otherwise, I also really like Etival from Clairefontaine, a little more expensive than the watercolor paper from Fabriano, but has a surface that is more reminiscent of expensive watercolour papers

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Thank you so i appreciate it 😇

[@supasapien]

I bought one sheet of Canson watercolor paper (they were out of Strathmore) at Hobby Lobby. I haven’t tried it yet. I got it specifically for a watercolor painting for my sister’s upcoming birthday. My iincome restricts me from buying much better quality supplies, but that’s okay.

I bought that from a grocery store. You can search for ‘glass jar with lid’ on amazon…hope that helps!

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Yeah. i never read whats written on there though..now i know😅

[@berolinastrassmann]

Here in 🇩🇪 Baohong is not so conveniently priced. I can get 10 full 100% cotton sheets (56 x 76 cm) by Hahnenmühle, Fabriano or Arches for around 50 or 60€. It is cheaper to tear the paper myself into any shape I want. Paper made in Europe has less carbon footprint than the ones from Asia. There is a clear supply chain in terms of labour practices and sourcing of materials. I am happy to support local companies with my purchases.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Its 19.84 € here in India i.e ₹1800 much cheaper than in your country ☺️ Its actually the skills not the paper/brush/medium

[@timspicer2596]

Yes yes yes!!! I wish more people made the effort to think about things as you have.

I get mine from T-mu. German retailers are trying to get their big cut by reselling chinese products for higher prices. Buying them directly from China saves you lots of money.

It's called washing your hands. I am able to cut down full sheets into 4x6's easily without getting oil all over the paper by simply washing my hands before and halfway through if I feel they're getting oily. Oh, and then there are gloves, what an incredible thought.

The chinese undercutting the market again. This will eventually increase costs or reduce quality in traditional paper makers like arches; just like steel and garlic, china will drag quality to the lowest level. I would rather pay more

[@johnjones928]

No, it will break the price fixing monopoly they currently enjoy. Arches, Strathmore and Canson are all owned by the same parent company Dixon, and each is kept in it's own lane as not to be too competitive with each other. Besides, what country do you think inverted paper in the first place? China was producing watercolor papers hundreds of years before the west started painting on canvas.

[@watercolourmark]

​@@johnjones928- You seem confused about this. Watercolour started in the late 1400s. The first cotton paper was in the 1800s. Both are Western disciples. Asia has a history of water based painting, but that ain't watercolour, and doesn't involve cotton paper. Do you know where China gets its cotton from? Slave camps.

[@lisayoder5686]

Wow! I just followed your link for the paper, is it really only available for $1800 USD? That is insane. I love what you did with it, but who can afford that much for the paper?
