In this video I review 3 types of watercolour paper from St Cuthbert's Mill. This is mainly a review of Millford paper, which replaces the old Whatman watercolour papers discontinued in the 1980s, but as I'm comparing it to Bockingford and Saunders Waterford, I've kind of ended up reviewing all of them together. St Cuthberts Mill gave me small sample pieces of each paper to try them out and I opted to review them. These are my own opinions - I have been given nothing for this video by the manufacturers and they have not endorsed or paid for this review in any way - all views are entirely my own, good or bad.
I test:
1) How dye and mineral pigment watercolours appear.
2) How well dye/mineral paints lift after 1h and 24h.
3) How well masking tape lifts.
4) How well masking fluid lifts 1) After drying for 1h [Winsor & Newton Masking Fluid] and 2) After drying for 30 mins, painting over and then drying for a few hours [Art Gum Masking Fluid]
5) I also look at general brightness of dye based colours and the textures they achieve on the different papers.
