For most of my Watercolours I draw the subject first. I use a variety of papers depending on the subject and effect I wish to create, but usually 100% rag. I use two palettes of colours, one for landscapes, one for flowers and an array of brushes. I find Arches Rough excellent for landscapes where I want texture in the finished work, Saunders Waterford and Whatman for most other landscapes and flowers.
