Just the regular Arches Aquarelle, hot press.

Not cost, in fact for a time I thought I was going to end up with Arches
Platine, which costs twice as much, but as I worked with it more the
Platine was just too weird for me and I sent it back. No, what turned me
against Arches Aquarelle was manufacturing and sizing inconsistencies
that made very strange patterns appear in the print at random.

Gum of course; gum is all I do.
