  • To preserve these white areas, many painters use a variety of resists including masking tape, clear wax or a liquid latex, that are applied to the paper to protect it from paint, then pulled away to reveal the white paper beneath them.
  • Cold pressed papers are valued for their versatility.
  • Unlike most other painting mediums, watercolor paint relies on the whiteness of the paper to reflect light back through the color.
