    I struggled with cheap sketching paper at first and you are right it is so frustrating when you are trying to learn watercolor. Good paper makes the world of difference. #makoficationsquad

      Sketching paper is too thin you can draw excess water from your brush by touching the base of the bristles with a paper towel or a dry rag

      Hey Mako! I couldn't find good quality paper and had resorted to using a drawing sketchbook since the paper was quite thick. And like you said, the paper curls easily but I'm not unhappy with how the paints look on paper.
      So glad you did this video, now I know what to bother my art supplier/stationary shop with. Thanks 😊

    Finally a detailed but quick and sweet explanation of watercolor papers. I was always so confused on which to buy depending on my own style of painting but now I know that cold pressed is mainly what I need! Thanks so much for your videos, even a simple video as this is inspiring mako. Waiting eagerly for the next video! 😎

    Just wanted to say thank you for all your tutorials! I found you on my recommendations and it was an instant subscribe. Your instructions are easy to follow and the results when following them were stunning. I also like the way you always make a point in telling us, your viewers that it’s just one way of doing it that you personally find easy and you encourage us to try to find our own ways and styles and in the end, just have fun with it. It’s noticeable that you are genuinely passionate about art, I adore your channel!

It's not easy to create a masterpiece because not everyone will appreciate the work we do. But I am a proud artist lover and thank you for encouraging so many young dreams of being a artist like me.
    God bless you. ❤️
