I believe that the Arteza watercolor paper that you're using is cotton as opposed to wood pulp which is the key. Many Arteza pads are wood pulp which is much more prone to bulking. Thank you for this video, it led me down a short rabbit hole to discovering this key.

I’m so glad this helped! I would say all of these papers are archival, which will ensure optimal preservation of paper quality- as for paint quality, that depends on the paint you actually use. As for varnish, you have the option to use it, but it’s totally not required :)

Very useful, thanks! However, I know that you were using water to thin down your acrylics. I was always taught not to do that. When I need to create more spread, I use an acrylic binder. Do you think that would make a difference with the warping?
@TheBuzzedArtist2 жыл бұрын
Glad this was helpful for you :) acrylic binder is a great medium to use (especially if you really need to dilute your paint and don’t want to ruin the acrylic integrity). I’m not quite sure if the warpage would still happen, but my guess is the lighter weight papers will still have warping issues regardless. I’ll have to investigate this further in the future :)

@@Medietos acrylic paint, as the name suggests, is pigment with an acrylic binder. The acrylic binder is a plastic polymer. If you add too much water it will break this binder and create a very weak paint. You can look all of this up on the internet, I am not a chemist, but that is what I read.

I had a question, I'm fairly new to acrylics and I mainly use it to in my journal and the pages are 120gsm yet I experience that whenever I paint 2 sides, the pages just stick together and Its hard to get them to seperate! Is that common? And what can I do in this situation?
@TheBuzzedArtist2 жыл бұрын
I would say that can be pretty common, especially since acrylics can stick to each other when room temperature is on the warmer side. I would suggest painting on one side of the page so that no two paintings touch each other. Also, keep a close tab on the room temperature

I dislike canvas paper immensely, the texture just turns me right off. I have found mixed media paper makes great sketchbook paper and watercolor paper is my favorite. Cold pressed cellulose watercolor paper is my favorite paper for acrylic painting. I don’t like hot press as well as it’s too smooth for me, I prefer some tooth in my paper. I dislike cellulose paper for watercolors though. 100% cotton for watercolors is my go to but it sucks for acrylics as it is too absorbent. I also have started to use gesso on my paper works as it makes the resiliency of the paper even better and as someone who uses washi tape to give me clean edges the gesso is king. Nice video though! I feel vindicated that canvas paper is even worse than I thought it was. 😂

For best possible result. And a cheap vs expensive / student vs professional would be interesting too. I saw one do a fabriano vs Saunders by accident in a paint brand comprison, and the difference was HUGE. It matters SO MUCH What papers you use. So thats why I wanted to say What would be a good video. And like i said, should be papers in different priceranges to see the difference there aswell. But with the goal to find the best paper. Would be awesome if u did a video like that. It Will Atleast be interesting to see if the result is similar on quality paper.
