Question SU Water Color Paper

Do you like? I have been trying to use different techniques the last few days. I have the Papertrey white c/s and think it works really good with my Prisma's, but not my SU Blender Pen & ink or SU Crayons & Aquapainter. The paper gets "roughed" up and it's hard to blend it out on the Papertrey OR the SU Whisper White paper. My watercolor paper should be here next week and I'm hoping I can figure this out. :confused:

I really like the SU watercolor paper. It is an excellent quality watercolor paper and works perfectly with the SU watercolor crayons and the Aqua Painter.

I really like the SU watercolor paper too. I've been working on my skills and watercoloring is SO therapeutic. Besides the watercolor paper I prefer using Watercolor Wonder crayons and an aquapainter.

I love the SU watercolor paper also. It's great to be able to watercolor without the paper warping or buckling.
I remember someone asking about the blender pens pilling cardstock, and JulieHRR said that it has to do with solution in the pen. She recommended a coated cardstock like Shimmery White.

I tried some out recently at a SU Party I hosted. I really liked it, worked great with crayons and aqua painter. So it got added to my free list

Another vote in favor of SU's watercolor paper! I just wish they came in larger sheets!

I have never had any complaints with any watercolor paper I use, and you can get it with a discount coupon. I think the craft stores don't carry but one variety and it's good quality, also
