#FridayFinds
Hey there, fellow art enthusiasts! Welcome to another exciting edition of #FridayFinds, where we discover hidden gems that add a splash of joy to our creative journeys. This week's treasure revolves around the wonderful world of watercolour paper - and let me tell you, it's truly special!
Temu
Picture this: I usually head to the art store to stock up on my beloved watercolour supplies, but fate had other plans this time. As I was leisurely scrolling through the magical pages of Temu's website, I stumbled upon a true gem - watercolour paper from a brand called Baohong. And boy, was I blown away by what I saw and read!
Great paper
First things first, this watercolour pad boasts an impressive 300 g/m2 weight, which translates to a hearty 140lb paper. It's substantial, sturdy, and oh-so-reliable. But that's not all - it's also acid-free and made of 100% cotton, which means no fillers or anything funky interfering with our artistic visions. Quality paper is an absolute game-changer, and Baohong delivers on that front!
Watercolour Pad
Now, let's talk about the pad's glue holding all those beautiful sheets together. Trust me, it's a dream! The sheets lift with ease, so say goodbye to frustrating paper rips during your creative process. How delightful is that?
Hot Pressed Paper
As much as I'd love to dive into the magic of this watercolour paper right away, I must admit that today is the day it arrived in the mail. Baohong is a new name in my art supply repertoire, and I'm brimming with excitement to try it out. The pad features hot press watercolour paper, which means it's smoother to the touch compared to cold press. Perfect for my gouache paintings and ink drawings - I can already feel my imagination soaring!
Creativity
So, here I am, all set and ready to let my creativity run wild with the Baohong hot pressed watercolour paper. The anticipation is electric, and I can't wait to see how my art flourishes on this canvas. Join me on this artistic adventure, and let the creation begin!
Happy Creating!
Remember, fellow artists, every #FridayFinds is a chance to discover new tools that elevate our craft and bring boundless joy to our creative expressions. Until next time, happy creating! 🎨✨
