Why use a professional grade watercolor paper?
I recommend painting on professional grade papers that are acid and lignin free, made of cotton fiber rather than cellulose. Because these papers are both stronger and more enduring. With proper treatment, a painting on professional paper can last hundreds of years. The paper’s texture and surface is brought out by the transparency of watercolor paints, and is one of the desirable qualities of a fine watercolor painting.
