Testing 4 Hot Pressed Watercolour Papers | Mini Horse Chestnut Conker Tutorial

Join me as I test out 4 different hot pressed watercolour papers for drawing with coloured pencils. In this video I complete 4 studies of the same horse chestnut / conker and even show you exactly how to draw it step-by-step in a mini-tutorial.

I give my verdict at the end as to which papers I like and which I don't.
