: I paint in oils, but I've been interested in learning watercolor.

: On artist seems to think very highly of rough paper, but I can't imagine how anyone can create something detailed with it.

: Whose watercolors are the best? Should I grind my own? I've read about additives like honey and ox gall.

Winsor and Newton watercolors and Arches paper are the best. Try to use brushes that are natural or a synthetic/natural blend. Get into a group that talks about watercolors. There are good ones at www.wetcanvas.com and yahoogroups has a lot of good forums. I am in one by the name of floralwatercolors that is just starting up. Join something like that...
