Graphite, acrylic, and acrylic media are some examples of mediums that are compatible with this paper.Watercolor paper: One of the most extensive types of paper, which may come in a variety of surface textures as well as weights. Watercolor paper is often available in weights of 90 lb, 140 lb, and 300 lb, with the higher numbers indicating more rigidity in the paper. While the 90 lb and 140 lb papers need to be stretched out on another surface before painting, the 300 lb paper does not require stretching since it is thick enough not to buckle under the weight of the paint.
