        Hi all, im looking to start a larger drawing than usual, needs to be at least 34-36 inches on the longer side, prefer smooth hot press paper for realism but can only find them a1 29-30 inches, am I stuck with making my drawing smaller or is there any good quality paper in larger sizes I can source [UK based] Can anyone point me in the right direction if any?
        cheers Eddie.

            You can get hot press watercolour paper in a roll from most of the big on line art suppliers such as Jackson’s. Usually around 1.1-1.5 by 9 metres. Which will cover what you want several times over. Expensive though (and unless you can get there in person, delivery isn’t cheap either)

                    There is a lot of paper rolls out there for you. But you’re going to have to spend something. Not 1 to 3 hundred but your paper is out there.

                        cheers m8, sorry for taking so long to respond. I’ll draw another project 1st then give the roll another look.

                                Rolls are good investment… Then you can cut to any prefered size…
