You may find that the lightweight papers on the 300 gsm and possibly the 300gsm would benefit from soaking and stretching the paper to avoid the buckling when applying washes. The windowless make sure the paper is not exposed to any detergents because that will affect the papers absorbency. Bockingford does not have gelatine surface sizing so is not quite as robust when using masking fluid main thing is just to make sure you take it off before it dries hard as it may damage the paper.
One of our top recommendations for any level of artist is a good paper to learn on and we know there are professionals that swear by it. Well price for the quality of paper it is.
