Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:
geni.us/RivesBFK
Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Loved this,Scott! Appreciate your unique technique. One request: a close-up at the end would have made this perfect. I soo want to see the silhouetted land at the end. Thanks.

Hi Ann! You are always welcome! I nearly always put in the description what paper, paints and brushes I used. Check it out! I paint most of my paintings on Rives BFK etching paper 280gsm white. Sometimes I use Arches cold pressed or saunders and waterford cold pressed papers too. Cheers Scott

Beautiful! The sky looks super granulating… I know you use W&N artist quality but I’ve not seen them granulate like that before in you other tutorials… do you ever use Granulating medium or Daniel Smith paints (I’ve heard they’re more granulating than W&N)… thanks so much for your tutorials!

Hi Marc! Maybe it is the amount of water I use! I have not used many DS colours or any mediums much! I am sure I will delve into different brands and mediums over the next couple of years! Glad you like the tutorials! Cheers Scott

@@ScottSwinson 280gsm for all the water you use? Wow! Is this paper good for "traditional" water colour? Glazes? Detail work? Coz it works really well for you and if it's cheaper than arches I'll give it a go to be honest. I've made a decent amount of money selling small originals this last year, but if I can cut my cost down more then I'm laughing. I do really like how arches behaves though. I tried Mozart paper, it's nice but it has a weird finish and doesn't behave that well for layering. I've tried a few other cheapies but I don't want to risk a new expensive paper being crap, if you get what I mean. Beautiful piece for this video by the way as always :)
