Hi Lena - I am enjoying your blog. Great information and videos - thank you for sharing your talent. Can you tell me what type of paper you are using for gouache? This medium is new to me.

If I am not mistaken this paper is sized with three layers of gelatin which makes it very resistant to scraping, cleaning, layering, etc. I think any high quality paper of a similar weight would do just fine. Like Arches for example; it is great too.
