Arteza logo is on the reverse side of the postcard, I honestly don't appreciate that especially not printed in black. While other w/c postcard companies, particularly etegami paper, do often print their logo on the reverse, it's generally in a pastel color and sorta easy to ignore

Mud Test:

Trying something a little different, not saturating the whole thing, but doing some wet into wet color blending. Water control on this is a challenge, bc it doesn't seem to absorb much water, so I'm constantly mopping up extra water to better control my color

When I added water, the paper started to really curl, so you're going to want to find a way to support this paper while you're painting. Colors do dry pretty vibrant on this paper.

So it only curves a bit, but the water does tend to pool in that direction and wet into wet just sorta goes into mud where it beads.

Sprinkled some salt on it because why not?

Freehand inked some wildflowers using a Sakura Pigma FB. Allowed to dry, then watercolored on top.

Can paint on both sides
