Shortly after the new year I purchased two new watercolor blocks of a paper that was new to me. Since then I have been experimenting and gaining experience using 'The Master's Choice', with origins to China called BAOHONG.
I have been painting on their rough surface which has a pleasing tooth to the paper. It appears to be a durable surface which can take many layers of washes and some say will not buckle when wet.
At this point it seems to only be available in this country from Jerry's Artarama. This paper also comes in cold pressed and hot pressed surfaces.
It takes a little practice to become acquainted with the qualities of this paper. However, for those artists out there who like to try something new, this may be just what you are looking for.
