Cotton paper is the gold standard for watercolor painting, but when you just want some cheap paper to practice with... what should you use? I put five different papers through a 5-part test to see which ones were the best!

*Correction: In the video, I said "wood pulp or cellulose." However, the two terms are not interchangeable. Cellulose is found in many plants, including wood AND cotton. So the papers I tested in this video are strictly "wood pulp" papers. :)
