MY PREFERRED PAPERS

INDIGO ARTPAPERS
As many of you already know, I place great emphasis on the beauty, strength, and impeccable handling of Indigo Artpapers. Much of my distinctive watercolor technique is made possible by this exceptional paper—it’s not just a preference, it’s an essential tool. The way it absorbs pigment, the surface texture, the resilience under repeated washes—everything about it elevates your painting experience.
