You NEED to know your Hot and Cold Pressed Watercolour Paper - What's the difference? Which is best?
Thanks for tuning in to watch my urban sketching, ink and watercolour tutorial! Don't forget to check out my channel where I have hundreds of different urban sketch tutorials, as well as other watercolour and ink sketching guides for everyone from beginners to more advanced!

When I reach my goal I'll upgrade my sketching tutorials with a new camera and use my old camera to give an extra view point in my videos! Perhaps my face, perhaps my watercolour palette, or some close ups of my process!
Hot pressed vs Cold pressed paper, a classic match up and a confusing or difficult choice to make. Especially if you’re not quite sure what the effect you’re after is!
I have changed over the years, I used to be a lover of hot pressed paper, but increasingly I love my cold pressed and textured papers. But what is the reason for this??
Well, in this video I’ll show you the difference between the two – I can’t say which is better, that is for you and your style to decide. But I will show you the different effects.
We’ll look at how they interact with pen lines, and normal watercolour washes.
What about the textures and more interesting/wacky wet on wet sketching – well of course we’ll look at that too.
As I paint more loose and with more water over the years, the reason I love cold pressed paper is I value the absorbancy and the textures it gives me. Whilst illustrators and botanical artists will love the accuracy and clean colours you can achieve on hot pressed paper.
I don’t go into it in this video, but both the papers I’m using at 300gsm, and good quality ‘own brand’ rather than super expensive ‘professional quality’ papers. However, the same rules apply to hot and cold paper, no matter who is selling them to you 😉
