Y'all must have known that Watercolor papers have different textures right? But what are those types and what is their difference??
They usually comes in 3 different surface , smooth-fine grained (Hot pressed) , slightly textured surface (Cold pressed) & very rough
Hot-pressed paper
Contains fine grained, rather smooth surface. Some artists prefer hot-pressed paper for detailed work, but others find it too slippery, making it difficult to control the paint.
Cold-pressed paper
Secondly, cold-pressed paper, sometimes confusingly referred as "Not paper," meaning not hot-pressed. It is the most versatile and popular texture, suitable for both beginners and experienced painters, because its semi-rough surface is suitable for both detailed work and smooth washes.
