From The Introduction
The paper used for Water Colour Painting should be of a kind called "plain," or "not hot-pressed." It may be obtained in various degress of roughness, adapted to the character of the drawing. For small picture, or such as contain much architectural outline, the paper shold be of medium quality, but for large mountainess scenery, &c. the rougher kinds are to be preferred.

This ebook, like the others by R. P. Leitch, is a facsimile of an original book which was printed using a method called continuous tone printing. The effect of the plates is similar to silkscreen printing, but printed with transparent inks. The final product closely approximates the look of an actual water color painting and gives the artist and printer great control over the look and over the finished product.
