Today I am experimenting with a new paper I picked up at my favorite local art store - Creative Coldsnow. This one is a little creamier in color than my usual paper, and has a stiffer, yet thinner feel. When I drop a little water on it - the paper turns very transparent until it dries. The ink bleeds well, though does not move as readily as watercolor paper. I love the long fibers in it, which leave wonderful ragged edges. This is a printer's paper, which I've never tried before. The jury is still out on it's use for actual watercolor, but I think it could be magical for the inks. I'm hoping to draw a larger one on site in the morning, since the trial went so well! Painting number 1954 in 1954 days.

Lovely work. I know I use Stonehenge paper for ink work and like it. It is suppose to be a printer's paper as well. Holds up under light washes of watercolor too. Have a super day.
