SHOWDOWN! Cheap vs Quality Cotton Watercolor Paper

In this video I engage in some basic demonstrations that show the key performance differences between cellulose or wood pulp paper (cheaper) vs 100% cotton paper (best quality). And make sure to watch my clarification video on cotton papers and how to use cheaper papers. https://youtu.be/JpgzRbGz4_s

NOTE: Correcting an error in this video. There is not a cheaper grade of Arches. I used to assume that was true of the tear off pads but its the same quality paper as their sheets.
