I've never tried watercolor in open studio sessions though I was primarily a watercolorist for ten years or so. I always used Arches 300 pound paper because I loved the natural texture, the handmade deckle edge and the weight of it meant I never had to stretch it.
For the several hundred portraits I did in pastel many years ago, I used Strathmore paper. I don't remember the name of the color but it was kind of a beige which was good for skintones.
In Open Studio sessions I've mostly used charcoal, conte or acrylics, all done years ago. Time to try an open studio session with oils one of these days!
