While dealing with the mountains and ravines of Stonehenge I did think about trying other papers but HP didn't come to mind. I now remember that in my last botanical class that the instructor mentioned HP as a good support for graphite. Let's see if I grumble less with a nice sheet of Artistico! :-)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935478985802990726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290470013027119322.post-88298892105213544742012-02-01T09:10:36.122-05:002012-02-01T09:10:36.122-05:00Funny how different mediums just "call" ...Funny how different mediums just "call" to us- I absolutely adore working in coloerd pencil; but paper surface really does matter big time; I love the smooth surface of hot press papers. One can achieve incredible photo-realism with colord pencil (at the cost of alot of time spent burnishing and nursing an aching wrist afterwards) but I actually prefer the look of the sketchy, lighter handed approach. Despite the off-putting yellowish tint, the plate surfaced paper found in the molskine "sketchbook" (lavender label) is one of my all time favorite surfaces for colored pencil.<br />~ gretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
