Some comments on the video before you watch it:
Perhaps the most important conclusion she makes is that taking time to get to know a paper properly is necessary if you really want to make a proper assessment. In other words she could work with all the papers in the list if she adjusted how she worked. So here's the video (which you can also view bigger via YouTube - click the YouTube bottom right in the video when you start it). Her blog post provides more details about Evaluating Hotpressed watercolor papers for botanical drawing. It covers:
Both this video and the one from yesterday are now included on my page in the Education section about Paper for botanical artists. This also offers guidance on how to test paper. The most important advice I have to offer is that only YOU can work out the best paper for your work. That's because everybody works slightly differently and what works best for one artist will not suit another. So take your time and do some testing:
DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO OF YOUR PAPER TESTING?
If so, please do let me know. If it adds value to the ongoing debate I'm happy to share it via this blog and my website.
