Watercolor Paper – I like 300 lb cold press Kilimanjaro natural white 22 x 30 inches per sheet. cheapjoes.com
One sheet can yield three 10 x 10” pieces and the leftovers can make wonderful cards!
Other watercolor paper will also be good, just make sure it is heavier rather than lighter.

Canvas – I like Dick Blick Gallery Profile back stapled (blue label). Consider 10 x 10” or 12 x 12”.

Paper and canvas should be gessoed.
