Magnolia on Faber-Castell wc paper

I looked through all my photo's and found a photo reference of a magnolia. I attempted to render similar to the demo in Leisure Painter. I used Faber-Castell wc paper and Daniel Smith Watercolors. After using the Lama Li wc paper, I think I'm spoiled for life. The Faber-Castell just doesn't have the tooth like the Lama Li.
