Watercolor paintings are usually painted on any kind of paper that has a bit of texture so that it will hold the color in place and that is thick enough not to wrinkle too much when moist. You can buy watercolor paper at art stores and sometimes even Walmart or office supply stores. Watercolor paper comes in different weights (thickness) and also three types which are; hot press (smooth), cold press (less smooth), and rough.
