Thank you 🙂

I don't use hot press paper yet.. they are so expensive and I don't think I should put my money in that... I'm not selling paintings nor I don't think I'm there at that level. Hot press is more for Portrait or botanical paintings... Somewhere you need to do lot of fine details. 😁

Cold press, I have worked on I love the Arto cotton papers I buy that often it's not that expensive

Right now I am a fan of these rough handmade papers from Chitrapat. They give good lifting support and has nice texture. This painting is on their matte versionvwhich has a texture replicating canvas.. not a fan of that but it's ok. Thevhave normal rough texture too which I have in other paintings which is my fav. And they are cheap

I have a A4 pad of Arches but it's like a trophy for motivation.. never used 😜

What's the cost of the Arches pad?

About 40-45 USD here for A4 300gsm glued and these ones I use are are just about 5 for the same 😁
