## Caption

Did a little wet on dry, wet on wet, and dabbing the brush on wet surface to see how the color spreads. 

I only have wonderful things to say about the @cansonpaper Montval from @pulpandpigmentph:
• It gracefully absorbs the water so when I add the color in, it spreads smoothly 
• There’s minimal buckling, even when I added loads of water for the larger artwork
• It’s 300gsm so it provides the “stability” I need when adding more water
• It allows me to soften colors and smoothen edges easily while the paper is still wet 
• I can also easily lift the colors once the surface is dry using a “regular” brush. (The brush I’m using here has soft hair)

Sharing a bit more of how I enjoyed this paper in the next video 🥰
