For Bristol, you may want to go with smooth instead of vellum. Vellum, watercolor, and mix media have greater tooth which kills marker tips. And the papers are heavily absorbing, ink dies fast as result.
Vellum texture is a medium to fine texture for most papers, Strathmore Bristol vellum is actually great for most water based markers. And only cold pressed watercolor paper is rough, hot press is less textured than vellum and only slightly more textured than Bristol smooth. Additionally, the paper will only be highly absorbent if it’s made of 100% cotton. If you use cellulose paper made of wood pulp, which is usually considered a student grade paper the ink will sit on top of it a lot longer
vellum is nice yet it still has that bleed in surprise. crescent is great paper, yet it does star and fuzz yet, but it's a game changer when it comes to alcoholic based materials for art projects. high detailed stuff. the price is madness, yet if you want the perfect look besides that no water colour mode makes this still good. less paper more money.
Can I just say, for brush tips, watercolour paper destroys the bristles, I don't know if you know this but it is just a heads up. Love you by the way! And I know this was made some time ago 😂💞
I just bought my niece a 72 set, and a skin tone set for Christmas. I’ve already spent so much.... but I’d like to get her a practice journal and then maybe paper for more serious work. What would you recommend? I was thinking a Stillman&Birn Zeta journal, it has smooth card stock like paper, and maybe the Strathmore Mixed Media mentioned in this video.
@@geslinam9703 you weren't asking me, but I recently bought a travelogue journal and it works wonders! It's quite affordable (the size I got, landscapes, is $12) and it holds watercolor, graphite, charcoal, marker, etc! I use it just to do random sketches or to practice without using paper that cost me a fortune (like Strathmore. I only use that for special drawings.)
Thank you! I bought a seriously ridiculously large chest of alcohol markers. You just reminded me that I can use mixed media, Bristol and card stick. I was strong in nit buying markers until I saw the red metal chest of 160 alcohol markers. I lost my composure and bought them. I then found you so thanks for posting !
I recently got the rendr it's cool . The reason the paper is not true white is because it has a thin layer of black plastic in the paper. So underneath all that white paper is black plastic stuff . It's how they keep it bleed proof but it's also why it can be a challenge to blend and why it doesn't soak into the paper . There's a physical barrier to prevent leakage .
That's so interesting! I hope they release a version with a thicker paper ok each side so it can handle at least a little bit of water. I tried to add some water to my water soluble crayons and the 'surface' dissolved.
Hey! I'm guessing the Walmart listing has updated since you recorded this, but it mentions now that the Georgia-Pacific cardstock is indeed acid-free and archival!
Honestly I really like your voice. Calm and energetic enough. To sleep to. It's calming and when concentrated on your voice it has a thing to it. 😍 But good advice. I'll each of these. Trying to get that perfect paper. So you know what I mean as an artist.
First, I was only going for the cresent rendr paper but after my style changed, I think something with a bit more texture might do better for me since I like making a more painterly style with markers, and I decided to just give up on the magical bleed proof paper, I never used it but I have been eyeing it for a long time. Yes, the thicker paper will eat up the marker ink but I will only be making smaller illustrations, so I think I'll go for the strathmore mix media paper! Thank you so much for this video!
After doing all this watercolor paper experimenting, maybe I should try paper other than computer paper for markers one day LOL. I still get people shaking their fists at me in the comment section of my videos xD I can't help loving the cheapest stuff :P But great video! :)
If you can make computer paper work with markers, then you are truly talented! It's tricky to find the right paper, and I think there's definitely something to be said for just learning to work with a paper that is less good quality. I like these papers because they are all really budget friendly-- especially that first cardstock I mentioned... at 4 cents a sheet, it's the comfort of computer paper with a lil' extra thickness for blending! ;D try it out!
@@creative.and.caffeinated Haha I have been determined xD I've used a bit of Strathmore Sketch and ACEO cards, but most all my marker work has been on computer paper :P But maybe I'll look into others, thanks! :D
Thank you for the information 🙏🏻 Im willing to start postcard artworks for sellings. My art is like graffiti and grafic design. This video was usefull, thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I am actualy drawing with "Staedtler" markers and coloring with "KOI" Coloring Brush Pens and I didnt found the best paper for it yet, so I will try RENDR, because I am that weird artist 😃👍 Thank you and God bless you 🙏🏻🕊
I am transitioning from acrylic painting to marker work and I plan on selling my prints, not the originals. Which paper do you recommend for the actual drawing and scanning?
I just bought my first set of copic markers and they are taking forever to get here lol. Worth the wait though, I do plan to get the bee paper company sketchbooks for my markers. xp >.>
Hi Amanda I have been using Toned Tan sketch paper from Strathmore (24 sheets). But some how I seem to get disappointed after finishing a picture with Copic markers. I would like you to suggest me a paper which is smooth ,blends well without leaving any lined markings and can be used with different coloured markers side by side. After listening to your video about different types of papers for Copic markers I feel that Artists Marker Paper from Bee Paper Company is good enough.Please suggest.
Hello , Amanda! Please, can you say something about the soaking of the markers into each paper, because I know when we use different tnan copic type papers, like the cards you show, they could soak the ink too fast from our markers, even if they make great color result at the end. This is what I would like to save myself - I dont want to buy some card paper which will soak my markers too fast at the end.
Most of the papers I like absorb a lot of ink. It definitely shortens the life of your markers, but for me it’s worth it because I can layer the ink as much as I want. If I could recommend a paper that’s still durable but not as absorbent, it would be the car stock I mentioned. It’s a good paper for finding balance between sturdiness and blendability without drying out your markers too quickly!
I was referring to the Georgia Pacific car stock, and other car stocks that are a similar gsm/weight. Try looking at the Recollections brand card stock also, that’s a good one. It’s not too thick so it won’t soak up too much ink!
Thank u for this video it was really useful.. Could you tell me ,please your opinion about daler rowney marker sketch especially if i’m using promarkers? Thanks in advance 💕
Nooo!! Mixed media and watercolor papers are sooo bad for markers 😭😭 they are made to soak up inks and liquids, they dry markers sooo fast. I made this mistake when starting out and just know its very costly in the long run! 😭😭
you mentioned you printed with one of the papers, would i need a laser printer so the image i print out doesnt smear once i colour over with copics? which printer do you use?
I have an inkjet printer, I usually lighten the opacity of the lines to minimize smudging. I have an Epson Artisan 1430... it’s not great, but it gets the job done. The model I have is discontinued, but there are very comparable ones out there from Canon too!
@@creative.and.caffeinated oh thank you! ill look into similar ones, i see some epson printers are dye based/ pigment based & from what i read other types of printers that use pigment based ink instead of the dye based ones hold up to smudging and fading etc, do you know if this is true, if i can find a printer that uses pigment based ink i could use watercolour on it?
Thank you for this video. I was looking for exactly this info! Just starting out....in retirement! Just curious, were these papers given in order of choice? Should I start with any one specific one at the beginners stage? Again, thanks...Patti
So glad you found it helpful! The papers weren’t really ranked in order of preference, more just in terms of how/when you would use them. If you’re just starting out, I really do recommend card stock. It’s very forgiving and you can usually find a bulk pack at a reasonable price, which means you won’t be afraid to use it and make mistakes. Great for learning and experimenting with new techniques! 👍🏼
hi im here because i used white poster board and messed up my whole anime drawing and it took a long time its an anime drawing and so big and that's why im here and I really need help
@@creative.and.caffeinated um if your my moms friend then ill tell my mom that your okay,im her daughter and im using her account im 10 ears old and you look prety
I haven't had any experiences with my markers bleeding on Bristol. I do notice some slight dulling with the colors, but for me the trade off of having a durable paper that holds up to lots and lots of layers is well worth it! 👍
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. John 3:18 KJV He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

You can use hot press watercolour paper. Its surface is smoothe and the colours will look brighter.

I love the way they look and react on watercolor paper, but heavy mixed media works well too
Best marker paper video I’ve seen .... great job ! Strathmore ROCKS ! Thanks Amanda !
