Wring out the masa paper and gently open it (it is very fragile at this time, so be careful not to tug and create tears) and lay it shiny side (marked side) down on your board. I lay it atop scott towels as the next step is a little messy and the paint can bleed through to the board and stain it.
Most printmakers would choose to print on the smooth side. Acid-free, made from 100% pulp.
What side of Arches paper do you paint on?
I contacted customer support at Arches and the representative told me that it's acceptable to paint on both sides of watercolor paper. So, it's safe to say that there's no “wrong” side to paint on, it's more of a personal preference.Sep 11, 2019

There is actually no right or wrong side to paint on. Today's watercolor paper is designed so that both the front and the back surfaces may be used for painting. One side usually comes smoother or rougher than the other. There is only the matter of preference.Apr 27, 2011
Can you use either side of Arches paper?

How do you paint on watercolor paper?
Wet on wet: wet paint is applied to wet paper, or added to a wash of fresh paint. This creates a fluid, fun and unpredictable effect. There is less control with a wet on wet technique. To try it, lay down clean water on the paper, then add watercolor paint to the wet areas.Oct 26, 2018
Can you paint on handmade paper?
Handmade is the best and mold-made comes in a close second. Both are very durable, stable and shouldn't distort under heavy wash. They both feature irregular surface textures which are pleasing to paint on. If you buy artists' quality paper it should be either handmade or mold-made.
What is masa paper?
I have been wanting to experiment with painting with watercolor on masa paper for quite some time. Masa paper is a thin, Japanese art paper that you crinkle and paint on which gives you a beautiful batik look.
Can you use masa paper on watercolor paper?
Using a coarse hardware type brush, I brushed on Yes paste (which is archival) diluted with a tiny bit of water to make it spread easier onto the watercolor paper. I carefully placed the masa paper (design side up) onto the watercolor paper and gently pressed out any air bubbles. If you push the paper you will pill or possibly tear it. Also, I was careful to keep any glue from getting on the top of the design.
