Printing Your Cactus Coloring Bookmark
Prints will look best using a bright white card stock or premium heavyweight matte paper. Using watercolor pencils and a waterbrush doesn’t use nearly as much water as watercolor painting, so you don’t really need watercolor paper for this technique. Of course watercolor paper is wonderfully textured and can be run through your printer, so if you like the look, go for it!
Make sure to match your print settings to the type of paper you choose for the best results. Use “high” or “best” print quality to get a clear, dark, black image.
