i have a problem keeping my paper wet til end.May be you can tell me why I struggle please.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

That’s quite a difficult question to answer, as there are several factors. Firstly, what type paper are you using? Also, how much water you use and temperature / atmospheric conditions where you are can have a significant effect on drying times. You could try using a mist bottle to help keep some moisture on the surface.

[@anomabailey4580]

I use Daler Rowney pads. May be I need to invest in a bit expensive papers. Thank you for your prompt reply. Thank you for your videos.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@anomabailey4580 In my humble opinion, paper is the most important supply you can buy. I’m sure you will notice a difference with some quality paper.
