Arches is the best watercolor paper that is hard to find in stores. It is pricier than other brands but worth it. This is my favorite brand overall.
Much more forgiving than hotpress. This keeps my paper from moving at all and prevents watercolor leaking to the next page. A little tricky to tear out the page tho. My fingers are thankful now.
Mostly unreliable reviews. Do more research before proceeding
Very reliable reviews you can trust
