What's the best paper medium to use Surfpaints on?Updated 6 months ago

For the best results with Surfpaints, we recommend using heavyweight, smooth, and absorbent paper that can handle the acrylic paint without pilling or warping. Here are some ideal options:

• Bristol Paper: A smooth, heavyweight option that's perfect for clean, precise lines and won’t cause pilling.
• Mixed Media Paper: Designed for both wet and dry media, it's durable and works well with acrylic paint pens. Look for paper that’s at least 160-300 gsm.
• Acrylic Paper: Specifically designed for acrylics, this paper can handle multiple layers of paint without pilling.
• Watercolor Paper (Hot-Pressed): If you prefer a little texture, hot-pressed watercolor paper provides a smooth surface that’s great for acrylic paint pens.

Avoid thinner papers like standard sketchpads or low-quality paper, as they can lead to pilling. The key is to use a thick, smooth surface that can hold the paint without absorbing too much moisture.
