Most artists loved the old W&N paper, but dislike the new one. Please specify: Were you disappointed by the new W&N watercolor paper (blue cover) or the old, discontinued one (grey cover)? THE OLD, DISCONTINUED W&N PAPER WAS GREAT – THE NEW ONE IS NOT… Have you used this paper and noticed this same issue? I’d love to know. Plus there are all these little white speckles that appeared even after going over the surface with a fully saturated brush. This was a difficult bouquet to paint from the start because of all the tiny flowers, but I found myself going over areas again and again because every wash seemed to disappear into the paper. I assume that this might be an issue with the sizing. You can see from the detail below that the paint doesn’t get absorbed into the paper unless you add multiple layers of washes. Is it just me or have you had difficulty with this paper too? But for some reason, the larger block (12″ x16″) does not seem to absorb the paint the same way it did on smaller size blocks. In fact for my most recent course “ Victorian Vignettes” I did all my demos on this. I painted this bouquet on a block of Winsor & Newton 140 lb CP paper.
