There are two main grades of watercolor paper: artists' quality and students' quality. Artists' quality, sometimes known as archival paper, is acid-free and designed to endure.

There are so many handmade paper available in the market. Local made are cheap for practice. However you can use branded papers like canson, dalor rowney as well. 200 GSM are good enough.

Best would be rough press paper. Or any 300 gsm to 600 gsm paper.. which absorbs water and gives texture.

Student grade handmade paper if you are still learning and experimenting, or artist grade if you want endurance.

Yes Acrylic paint can be used in Tanjore paintings. Originally colours made out of vegetables were used but now poster and acrylic paint works well. Other elements used in Tanjore paintings are gold leaf, semi precious stones etc
