Troubleshooting

Coloring pencils do not blend smoothly.

Ensure you are using a good quality coloring pencil and try layering colors gradually. The paper's texture can affect blending; experimentation with different pencil brands may be helpful.

Fiber-tip pens bleed through to the other side.

Use lighter pressure with the pens or consider using this side only if you do not intend to color the reverse. Test your pens on a small corner or an inconspicuous area first.

Paper appears slightly wavy after light watercolor use.

This is normal for paper not specifically designed for wet media. Allow the page to dry completely flat. For future use with very light washes, tape down the edges of the page before painting.
