I often paint acrylics on paper: sort of a mix of watercolour technique with traditional painting. It’s a halfway position which gives me freedom to be creative. It is very forgiving, as one can re-paint sections. This video has the usual hiccups: camera fail, I fail! I used voice over in the middle to avoid having to dump this video. I hope that’s OK with you all.

I have used a 2” flat brush from Reeves, called a spalter. (Not listed below because I cannot find them online.) I suggest you will find them in your local art shop.
The rigger brush was bought in Hobart from an art supply shop. It is the "Mont Matre" brand, and it's not a top quality brush. See links below for better quality: ie stiffer, longer bristles.
The paper I am using is Bee Paper Rough Watercolor Roll
It is 30” x 5 yards for US$34 - bargain price.
BUT, it’s not true watercolour paper, and I don’t really recommend it. But I’ve bought a roll so I’ll use it anyway. Maybe I’ll paint it with a gesso ground next time.

For good quality large paper, consider Fabriano.
