Yesterday, a Baohong watercolor block arrived, as most things these days, by a delivery to my front door. Baohong is a Chinese watercolor paper which is becoming rather popular, particularly among noted and prolific watercolor painters. Some say it does not buckle as readily as other watercolor papers.
It has been mentioned that it takes some practice to become familiar with the characteristics of this paper. I ordered the 140 lb cold pressed paper as I am most used to this surface.
This winter landscape is my first attempt at using this paper. I can't form an opinion yet of the paper as I am too new to this. However, it is an economical option. If it truly doesn't buckle it will be valuable for plein air painting.
