@Dragonfly0912 3 года назад

I believe that the Arteza watercolor paper that you're using is cotton as opposed to wood pulp which is the key. Many Arteza pads are wood pulp which is much more prone to bulking. Thank you for this video, it led me down a short rabbit hole to discovering this key.

I've been doing pencil on bristol for 15 years, and I'm starting to paint in real life instead of just digital. Bristol does not like wet media, and I don't like canvas. Thank you for reviewing good paper; the only one I know of is Arches.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

@mediartprime8124 2 года назад

This was the most useful video! Thank you. Do you know which paper preserves the painting best? Do you know if we need to put varnish on acrylic painting painted on watercolor paper???

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

I’m so glad this helped! I would say all of these papers are archival, which will ensure optimal preservation of paper quality- as for paint quality, that depends on the paint you actually use. As for varnish, you have the option to use it, but it’s totally not required :)

I love to paint on the fine grade watercolour paper blocks (they are glued on cartboard)from the brand baohong. Its 300 gsm i order diffrent sizes watercolour paper blocks. I,ve painted on them before and they are mind blowing for acrylic painting. Thanks for this review it realy helped me

@StellarSpell 2 года назад

This video is so helpful thanks a lot! I had a question, I'm fairly new to acrylics and I mainly use it to in my journal and the pages are 120gsm yet I experience that whenever I paint 2 sides, the pages just stick together and Its hard to get them to seperate! Is that common? And what can I do in this situation?

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

I would say that can be pretty common, especially since acrylics can stick to each other when room temperature is on the warmer side. I would suggest painting on one side of the page so that no two paintings touch each other. Also, keep a close tab on the room temperature

@DianaMoon11428 2 года назад

Very useful, thanks! However, I know that you were using water to thin down your acrylics. I was always taught not to do that. When I need to create more spread, I use an acrylic binder. Do you think that would make a difference with the warping?

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

Glad this was helpful for you :) acrylic binder is a great medium to use (especially if you really need to dilute your paint and don’t want to ruin the acrylic integrity). I’m not quite sure if the warpage would still happen, but my guess is the lighter weight papers will still have warping issues regardless. I’ll have to investigate this further in the future :)

@DianaMoon11428 2 года назад

@@TheBuzzedArtist Another experiment would be gessoing the papers. I should try that myself!

@Medietos Год назад

Diana Moon: Hello, do you mind mentioning the cause of thinning acrylics with water is not good, please? I have done that as an old-beginner, and lacking money and with a bit of perfectionism with a little performance anxiety, and in thinking that I am not good enough to use a lot of thick paint...that sort of thought process... :-)

@DianaMoon11428 Год назад

@@Medietos acrylic paint, as the name suggests, is pigment with an acrylic binder. The acrylic binder is a plastic polymer. If you add too much water it will break this binder and create a very weak paint. You can look all of this up on the internet, I am not a chemist, but that is what I read.

@Medietos Год назад

@@DianaMoon11428Thank you very much. Yes, I investigated and found exactly that answer.

@Aaron84danielle 16 дней назад

Would it be possible to print on the paper before painting on a laser printer?

@TheBuzzedArtist 16 дней назад

Hmm, it might be possible? It’s not a bad idea to try and see what happens. I recommend to seal the ink after printing to avoid any possible smudging- just to be safe

Can u suggest me a good sketch book or journal for pencil sketching and acrylics and oil pastels.. I'm a begineer nd i have never used acrylics before.. Nd i really want to try out acrylic painting.. So can u plz suggest me a sketch book nd brushes for a begineer like me.. 😢😢

@TheBuzzedArtist 3 года назад

Absolutely. I would go with a multimedia journal to start - they handle pencil and acrylics decently. I believe my video description has details on the Arteza brand mixed media paper. As for brushes, I have a video that explains basic art supplies for acrylic artists already on my channel

@GarbauxM 2 месяца назад

Oh… lol i almost feel like i was clickbait’ed 💔 I got so disapointed when I Read that it was all Arteza :/ It’s such a shame you only tested cheap low quality-budget-papers :( I would much more appreciate if you did a test on some of the supposed best papers out there. For best possible result. And a cheap vs expensive / student vs professional would be interesting too. I saw one do a fabriano vs Saunders by accident in a paint brand comprison, and the difference was HUGE. It matters SO MUCH What papers you use. So thats why I wanted to say What would be a good video. And like i said, should be papers in different priceranges to see the difference there aswell. But with the goal to find the best paper. Would be awesome if u did a video like that. It Will Atleast be interesting to see if the result is similar on quality paper.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the insight. Not all the paper I reviewed in this video was Arteza, but I understand your concern. Perhaps I’ll test out different brands to see if they present any major differences. Thanks!
