It's better for my wallet:) It's wonderful to paint on.

Last night I tried Arches(its 300 lb NOT)for some waterlilies.My mistake...Lilies are delicate things- and paper's texture was a bit rough and toothy.So it was not a great marriage!Still I managed a decent piece, if not exactly super!<br />The paper is nice,though.Color spread easily on it.But I should not be using it for subjects having small details.For that, Langton 140 lb paper blocks work best for me.Do tell me about Fabriano when you finish working on that.Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820874950763419111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734161902488517200.post-48017689226257325912012-12-20T10:18:20.252+00:002012-12-20T10:18:20.252+00:00Like any old couple..they know they are there for ...Like any old couple..they know they are there for each other!Thanks Asit.Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820874950763419111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734161902488517200.post-39845781524384614932012-12-20T10:17:42.749+00:002012-12-20T10:17:42.749+00:00I see so many old couples around here, walking han...I see so many old couples around here, walking hand in hand, it makes me go all sentimental!This couple did not exactly display affection openly, but still- its evident that they are there for each other!<br />Wish you a great Holiday Season.Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820874950763419111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734161902488517200.post-44561603042271659642012-12-20T10:15:18.454+00:002012-12-20T10:15:18.454+00:00Thank you, Polly.Painting faces and figures is my ...Thank you, Polly.Painting faces and figures is my passion.Glad you liked my work.Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820874950763419111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734161902488517200.post-10497448820975540822012-12-20T10:14:39.744+00:002012-12-20T10:14:39.744+00:00Thank you, Hilda.I did this one just for fun ..
