   I prefer to use Acrylic on heavy weight watercolour paper, I can then make use of washes at the beginning of the painting and have more texture and detail at the end. I use both bristle and soft haired brushes and any other tools that will give the effect, for the leaking lock a toothbrush! Quite a few of my Acrylics are on Whatman watercolour paper which is a soft, very absorbent paper that allows many washes but little correction, it requires 'a 'drier' way of painting' than most people paint watercolour, but Acrylics work fine.
