Print-at-home watercolor prompts

Use bright, smooth 28 lb paper for crisp full-color pages. For light washes, choose printer-compatible mixed-media paper and check your printer’s maximum paper weight.

Coloring & activity pages

Choose smooth bright-white paper or light cardstock for colored pencils, crayons, and gel pens. A 65 lb sheet is a good option when your printer supports it.

Original watercolor painting

For painting your own work or tracing a page by hand, use 140 lb watercolor paper. It is heavier than most home printers can handle.

Markers

Colorful markers for bold pages. Put a protective sheet behind your page because alcohol markers may bleed through.
