That's a beautiful illustration! I love hot press paper but I agree that cold press does better with paint sometimes. That being said, my fingers rebel at touching the cold press texture😅
I love watching you discuss mediums and supplies to work with! You have such a great perspective! I feel like this year is absolutely about getting into the flow with art 💓
I've had similar issues using hot pressed paper. I was so confused as to why I suddenly couldn't seem to paint well anymore 😂 But rather than looking up techniques, I've just stuck to cold passed paper or my Talens sketchbook haha. You seemed to make it work well though in the end! Good job!
Cold pressed is definitely preferred. I think hot pressed is good for mixed media with lighter washes of paint. I just need something that can handle all the water I through at it.
