In my Cézanne Watercolor paper review I showed you my unfinished Crayola crayon drawing. I thought you might want to see how it turned out. I’d have to say, my second favorite paper to use pencil crayon on is my Cézanne hot pressed Hahnemühle paper. For watercolor, it’s my number one. I have recently tried the cold pressed version of Cézanne and love it even more. This paper is 140lb, natural white, acid free and archival. It takes lots of water so I can paint as wet as I like. I’ve found it doesn’t warp as much as other 140lb paper and keeps professional watercolors bright and clear.
I’m reposting my last paragraph from my review of this spectacular paper because it just sums up everything I think and feel about Cézanne paper.
“Two words come to mind with Cézanne paper, consistent and reliable. I can work as wet as I want and I can be sure that my watercolors will flow seamlessly over the surface sized paper. This paper allowed my paints to shine and since I’m all about the brightness and clearness of color, I sure appreciate a paper that celebrates that. Hahnemühle’s Cézanne watercolor paper is a joy to paint on, I have a new favorite paper.”

ohmygOOdness THIS is wow!!!! it feels like i could reach right in and pick up one of those crayons! well done! congrats on finishing (i checked the review link to see the drawing-very nice!) and i love the shout out to your mom 🙂 mom’s are pretty darn special. i need to check out that water color paper, it sounds amazing. for a card, how about an Easter basket with grass, a chocolate bunny, and some jelly beans you could use to write words on. like peace, happy easter, joy, etc. thanks for sharing Jenn, and Happy Easter to you. i just noticed this was poster 3-25, i just got the email today 3-30 so it’s a bit late for easter card ideas. sorry i didn’t see it sooner, not sure how that happened….
