This is the first time I am painting on Khadi paper (A3 rough). It feels more absorbent than Saunders Waterford or Bockingford paper and tears more easily when using masking fluid. Some of the paper fibres lift when painting, which can cause a mottled effect. I feel this paper is therefore not suited for traditional watercolour paintings and is maybe better for an impressionistic style, where unpredictable effects don't mar the painting.
Near the bottom of the painting is one of the iconic ferries that cross the Rhine in Basel. They are attached to a cable that spans the river and are dragged from one bank to the other by the current of the water.
