I don’t understand this as I don’t see any artist using a pencil that you can only buy in sets.Mike Brazaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03196831045062573144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31268332.post-52742222891857186282012-02-27T22:18:06.891+00:002012-02-27T22:18:06.891+00:00Hi Heather and thank you:-) I liked the Uno too an...Hi Heather and thank you:-) I liked the Uno too and often wish that Fabriano would do different coloured hp watercolour papers. <br /><br />Thanks Jackie :-)<br /><br />Great name Laura!

Not quite the same but I’m getting used to it. Isn’t it funny how we each get hooked on a certain paper? I just LOVE, LOVE your artwork!!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587836787565724135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31268332.post-73868619015008557382012-02-24T15:04:18.340+00:002012-02-24T15:04:18.340+00:00Hi Sue, I can't seem to finish a drawing in a ...Hi Sue, I can't seem to finish a drawing in a few layers so never get on with the smoother papers and coloured pencil unfortunately. Admire those who can though......and wonder how they do it!<br /><br />Have heard a lot of good things about Clairefontaine Pastelmat funnily enough and it is a paper I want to try but haven't got round to yet. Plan a trip to the art shop in the near future so must add a sheet or two of that to my list:-)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965272647048231298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31268332.post-73776220285001187492012-02-24T14:30:58.670+00:002012-02-24T14:30:58.670+00:00Another lovely lab Laura.

As you say, it doesn't have much tooth so doesn't take many layers but if you've used cps on drafting film it works much the same.<br /><br />Have you tried coloured pencil on Clairefontaine Pastelmat? I like the combination and it has the advantage you can use ZestIt solvent to speed up the cp process :-)Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.com
