Extra-fine grain, hot-pressed watercolor paper anyone?

[lillithium]

The kind of watercolor paper I've been using (Sennelier Watercolor Blocks - hot-pressed, 140lbs, extra fine grain) is no longer being imported to Japan. *sighs* Which left me with only two choices:

1. Fabriano 300g extra fine grain

2. Arches 300g extra fine grainThere isn't much choice about hot-pressed watercolor paper, and both are equally

Thank you SO much for the link! The brand you recommended is SO inexpensive! Almost 4 times cheaper than those I could get in Japan! Even include shipping charge it's still cheaper ♥

I'm gonna browse through the site and see if there's anything else that looks good. Thanks again!

Thanks very much again for the site. I wish I lived in Europe, where there are varieties of artist supplies to choose from, and with affordable price.

twice as much Lillith art this year :D
Same to you ♥ I heart your art. Heart.

Sorry to intrude I was surfing friends-friends pages and found your post (actually I have no idea who we have in common!).
Just adding my two cents: I don't like Arches blocks, only loose sheets. I'm recently rediscovering Fabriano pads and I find them quite nice.

My favourite online shop carries Sennellier and its shipping is quite cheap, though the exchange rate isn't often favourable.
