1 Cold press is used for a wide variety of watercolor effects from washes to detail work. 2  Hot press is primarily used for detail work due to its smooth finish.  Beware, the texture of paper can vary from manufacturer to manufacturerâwhatâs considered smooth for one may be toothy by anotherâso you have to experiment.
As with any skill, the key is practice and more practice. A good way to start is to try out the wash strategies described on this page. Buy six or eight medium sized (10x14) watercolor blocks, five or six with rough (R) or cold pressed (CP or NOT) finishes and one or two with a hot pressed (HP) finish.
