Is your paper making watercolour harder?

✦ You feel overwhelmed by terms like cotton, cellulose, cold pressed and 300gsm.

Hi, I’m Karen. Let’s make watercolour feel easier.

After years of teaching watercolour, I’ve seen how often beginners blame themselves when their paper is actually making painting more difficult.

That’s why I created this free guide—to help you choose paper that gives you more time, better control and far more enjoyable results.

Use a warm ivory background and keep Karen’s name in the dusty-rose accent colour. This section will add trust and make the page feel personal rather than like a generic download page.
