Lizzie Harper Botanical Illustrator Compares watercolor hot press papers (part 3)

Lizzie continues her quest for a good #watercolour #paper for #botanicalillustration work in this third film in the series, and this time...finds one! This video compares six #hotpress #papers; showing x64 speeded up footage of her painting a #flower on each, then explaining her findings, along with a brief analysis of each paper under the microscope. The papers tested here are: Clairefontaine Hotpress watercolour http://www.clairefontaine.com/product... Winsor & Newton Medium surface heavyweight Cartridge paper http://www.winsornewton.com/uk/shop/p... Strathmore 500 Series Imperial watercolour paper (hot press) https://www.strathmoreartist.com/pain... Fabriano Artistico hotpress (the new stock, available to buy) https://fabriano.com/en/22/artistico_... My old stock of Fabriano Artistico hotpress (no longer available) and Fluid 100 http://www.globalartmaterials.com/flu... You'll have to watch to see which one turns out to be the #Holygrail of #botanicalart #hotpresspapers!
