Looking for paper suggestions. I’ve used Fluid 100 and their cellulose version, some other random cellulose brands, just picked up some Arches and Baohong Academy, what’s your budget brand and your splurge pick?

I ordered half a dozen blocks from Jackson, thanks for the recommendation! It’s as good or better than any other cellulose paper and pretty inexpensive. Cold press and Rough finish is nice, have not tried Hot press. Definitely recommend this paper.
Awesome, enjoy! Can’t wait to see what you paint!
Hi there. Just checking in to see how that paper went?
I’ve ordered Jackson blocks a couple times now. I’ve found the smaller Jackson blocks perfect for quick studies, practice, color checks, etc. The price is cheap enough on the smallest blocks that I just have them around the house, at work, in the car, I can pencil sketch something to paint later or whatever. Versatile.
I’ve been painting “real paintings” on Baohong lately, specifically the rolls. The price seems good for the quality/quantity but requires me to stretch the paper which I don’t like doing so we’ll see.
Thanks for the info. Yes, the baohong is definitely getting the love. Some of the best artists in the world use it. I’ll have to give it a crack. I prefer sketchbooks, and the baohong sketchbooks are quite expensive.
