    Gouache meterials

    I like Arches 140lb HP paper, which has a good balance ... absorbing well, with out having all the bumps in the way like a Cold Press paper.

    Gouache meterials

    Acrylic surfaces?

    I've painted on gesso-ed masonite which, when sanded is really smooth. There are commercially prepared surfaces like gessobord that are similar.
