I LOVE using artisan handmade paper when painting in ink and watercolor! This one is made by Bhoori, a junior artisan at Leather Village. Each packet of paper that I order from them comes with a card from the artist with their photo, with a word of thanks and appreciation. This paper is a little thinner and a bit more absorbent, causing it to really soak in that ink. Every handmade paper has it's own special qualities, and it is my job to make the most of each one. This paper is a particularly strong choice for using ink. If you look closely, you can see the clip marks on the bottom where it was clipped to a line to dry! This amazing structure is the Stavkirke Church on Washington Island, Wisconsin. Full of historic character, services are held here still. Painting number 3859 in 3859 days.
