For florals, hot pressed is wonderful. The colors are so vibrant.

[@cathygraetz7229]

I have two blocks of hot pressed paper, bought in ignorance when I first started watercolour painting. Very glad when you show how to use it to best effect. Thanks for your inspiration and helpful tips, Ellen.

[@patriciamartin703]

[@macgurrl]

I really enjoyed this so much. Beautiful painting. I love watching you mix colours.

[@ellencrimitrent]

Thank you very much!

Thanks to you Ellen, I now love hot pressed paper. Beautiful fall wreath. Blessings to you!

[@sandyhatherall8296]

What a beautiful, bright, happy wreath! So pretty 😍

[@sandraharris8386]

This has really helped with my confidence in how to use hot pressed, thank you Ellen!

[@DottieGreco-g4f]

Loved this! Such a great lesson in layering on the detail. You could have stopped at any point and it would have been great. But became more unique looking with each addition. I like the reminder to work fast too. I notice when I do, that my work feels more authentic. You’re so much fun to watch! Thanks for being so real.

[@ellencrimitrent]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mrollins4777]

Thanks again for more autumn inspiration. Sunflowers, pumpkins and pies. Oh my!!! How about a piece of pie pic? Apple a la mode, cherry etc. Fun stuff ❤

[@ellencrimitrent]

I decided to paint a rose on some Hahnemuhle hot press and the same rose on some Arches cold press today, to see the difference. I haven't used hot press before and I wanted to see the difference. And then I come in here and you did a demonstration on hot press! Thanks!

[@rachelsockknitter7177]

Hello Ellen, I want to send you the biggest thank you for enabling me to start painting with watercolours. I received some beautiful paints for my birthday but was totally intimidated. I watched all your mini painting tutorials and they gave me the confidence to have a go! I looked everywhere on KZbin but your videos were the best by far. You are an amazing teacher. I send you my kindest regards. Rachel x

[@annenglish2935]

Lovely!😊

[@jodycourt]

Love this. I wonder if you would consider doing some fall fruits and/or veg -- apples, plums, pumpkins, carrots, squash, etc. Ohh, now I feel dumb. You DO have some plums and apples and veggies. I'll go watch those. THANKS for all you do.

[@katalinas9264]

Cool.

[@patriciamartin703]

[@ralphherrick596]

So does the drying time for the hot pressed paper differ from cold press?

[@ellencrimitrent]

yes but on this paper like I say you don't use a ton of water so it can dry faster if you stick to that.

[@eleniphotos]

I got some HP paper but dislike it. I love my CP & rough paper.

[@kathrynledward2037]

I absolutely love this one Ellen thank you. Can it be done on cold press?

[@ellencrimitrent]

absolutely !
