Any arts aisle in a store should have basic watercolor paper. Arts and crafts stores (A.C. Moores, Pearls, Michaels) in particular sell this, as do many campus stores for schools that offer art classes.
Watercolor paints only work on paper because the paper is able to obsorb the water and grasp the color. The paint will easily peel off even for decorative porposes. Even if watercolor would stick, it is very thin paint and would barely be able to be seen.
To create easy watercolor pencil drawings, start by using quality watercolor pencils and paper. Sketch lightly with the pencils, then add water with a brush to blend and create a watercolor effect. Experiment with layering colors and using different techniques like wet-on-wet or dry-on-dry. Practice and have fun exploring different styles and subjects.
There are several types of drawing paper that artists can use, including sketch paper, watercolor paper, pastel paper, and mixed media paper. Each type of paper is designed to work best with specific drawing materials and techniques.
The main differences between sketch paper and drawing paper are the weight and texture. Sketch paper is lighter and has a rougher texture, making it ideal for quick sketches and experimentation. Drawing paper is heavier and smoother, providing a better surface for detailed and finished artwork.
To keep watercolor paper flat while painting, you can stretch the paper by soaking it in water and then taping it down to a flat surface until it dries completely. This will prevent the paper from warping or buckling when you apply watercolor paint.
Watercolor paintings are usually painted on any kind of paper that has a bit of texture so that it will hold the color in place and that is thick enough not to wrinkle too much when moist. You can buy watercolor paper at art stores and sometimes even walmart or office supply stores. Watercolor paper comes in different weights (thickness) and also three types which are; hot press (smooth), cold press (less smooth), and rough.

The different types of painting paper available for artists to use include watercolor paper, acrylic paper, oil paper, and mixed media paper. Each type is specifically designed to work well with the corresponding painting medium, providing the best results for artists.
