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:

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.

Wow Scott, you are really upping your game with the videos! And of course your work is always amazing.
Hi Tiffany! Thanks! I know what I would like to be doing in the future it just takes time to learn, evolve snd buy more equipment! 👍👍
This is my first time to view your videos. Thank you. Really enjoyed your instruct creativity.
Hi Scott, great process. Really touch me, when you describe the freedom of using bigger brush and just letting go... That the watercolor can work and move freely. I think I needed to hear that today. Many thanks!
Hi Agata! I’m so pleased the video helped you in a meaningful way. Good luck using that into the future! 👍🙏
You have the perfect understanding of your steps in painting. A brilliant art memory in brain, hands and pre movements. De learn lots. Thank you.

Im following all your videos. Great stuff !!! Sensational pieces. What distinguishes the artist from another is the outpouring of love and passion in the piece rather than just being technical. You have both ❤️
Hi Jasmine! I agree! It is about emotion about viewing the art being the experience rather than it being about an experience and particularly detailed. 🙏
Your art makes my heart smile....so joyous...
Hi Susie! I am really happy when I hear things like that! It is amazing in this day and age that you can record your process of painting and if someone finds it interesting or inspiring they can watch! Really happy to have made your heart smile!
Crazy awesome work 😍😍😍! And- congrats on the new equipment
Hi Kristie, thanks! And yes it’s great to have a new set up! 👍👍
Hi Scott, nice new setup! And a fabulous lesson as usual! Best, Mike
Hi mike! Thanks! Happy painting mate! 👍👍

Great video, Scott. Love the 3 angles!!! As usual, another dynamic painting.

Awesome painting. Loved it!
Thanks MS Merlin! 👍👍👍
Wonderful enthusiastic gifted artist. Please keep painting. Thankyou
Hi Karol! Thanks! This is a pretty strong landscape with a nice moody sky! 🙏
I appreciate you pointing out the mistakes one might see and why you may choose to not fiddle with it! I needed to hear that. It was great seeing how you overcame the accidental dripping of dark color! As a photographer, it was great to see the new setup, light and angles. Looks professional. I am sure the production end is a bear to deal with as well as all that harddrive space! Thanks for all you do for us!
Hi agbphoyogrsphics! I’m glad it was helpful and yes for an artist rather than a photographer or videographer the whole set up, edit etc is at times very full on! Thanks fir watching! 👍👍👍
I love your seascapes. I liked the Cronulla one especially as Ihave been to this beach several times on my visits to Australia. Regards from the UK.

Hi Eunice! Thanks! I would love to visit Hawaii in the future!! Great landscapes for watercolour!! Thanks for watching! Cheers Scott
Excellent!
Thank you for a great tutorial. I have trouble getting shadows right and I am fighting with the temptation to overwork details into a painting. So thanks for demonstrating that. The razor blade scares me, but I love the result. I’m going to join your Patreon after midnight here in California - wait to be billed on the 1st of the month.
Hi dusty desert! Glad you liked it. See you over in Patreon! You will have to let me know you are dusty desert as that is I’m assuming not your name! 👍👍👍

Nice use of a Haw-kay brush. Fun and loose!
Thanks Brenna! Why do you call it a Haw-kay brush? Have you got something to teach me about these brushes I use all the time! I know I don't pronounce them correctly! lol
Love the new format of recording. Super loose painting!
Hi Julie! Glad you liked it. It is pretty cool to be able to use the 3 angles at the same time! 👍👍

Thanks Dominique! Glad you liked the video! Merci! 🙏🙏
Lindo que talento el que tienes.
Hi Sandra! I just love light and have grown to understand the medium of watercolour. I think anyone could do that over time. Cheers Scott
Thank you patrons 😁
Thanks Socrates! 🙏
Thank you Scott for sharing your talent so graciously. Somewhat of an irrelevant question maybe but what tape do you use to hold your paper down. Other than the brown parcel tape, everything I have used just detaches when I add as much water as you use. Love your work BTW.
Hi Alan! I know tape can be so frustrating! The tape I have found to be the best is 3M (scotch) magic tape. In a green packet. The widest one you can get. It works really well if you put 1/4-1/3 of the width onto the paper and 2/3-3/4 onto the mdf board! If your board is dry and you push it on hard everywhere then it is all good! You can of course also pre-stretch with the brown craft tape or gum tape what ever you want to call it. Hope that helps! 👍👍
Hi, great video, I also bought your course which is outstanding! I am having a small problem with the paper buckling. I use the 3m tape you do but my paper buckles, I am not using wood but gatorboard. Would using wood make a big difference?
❤
Lovely results! What is your paper and process for the paper? Maybe this has been asked already...thanks!
Hi Lois! ! The paper was an A3 piece of Arches cold pressed 300gsm. I always write the paper, paints and brushes in the description. 👍👍
Thanks🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎄🇦🇺
You are always welcome Fadi! 👍👍
When my paper is so wet, it buckels terribly even before I lay on paint. Did you pre-treat/wet your paper? I'm new to this site, and just began watching!! Thanks.
Beautiful scene. What paper did you use and what paint? Thanks.
Hi Carol, glad you liked it. The paints, paper and brushes used are always in the description. I used an a3 piece of arches cold pressed 300gsm paper and used yellow ochre, raw umber, cobalt blue, mix of cobalt blue snd light red and Payne’s grey. 👍👍
👍👍👍
Glad you liked it Roberto! 👍👍👍
What paint are you using
First time to watch you
