Looking for Parchment Paper Recommendations (Canada)

[sweet pumice]

I'm still struggling my way through learning to properly thin my paints, and ive noticed that my paints do not behave on my palette like i see in most people's videos. (My paint when thinned a lot forms little droplets instead of lying as a flat pool)

I'm curious if my choice of wet palette paper is the culprit, or if maybe its a consequence of being on very mineral rich well water.

In any case, i use Kirkland culinary parchment paper from costco.

Are there recommended brands, and should i use distilled water or something?

It’s your paper more than anything. Dedicated wet palette papers have more of a tooth so there’s basically small ridges the paint adheres to and breaks the surface tension. Parchment won’t have that but it’s still a good choice

Mineral rich water might lead to some staining if you’re painting very wet, but it shouldn’t really be an issue I would think

My own also form into droplets - but that's not the end of the world.

alright, il try to stop worrying about my stuff. im just eager to learn and hate the idea of being held back by something i can fix
