Description
Felt the need to throw some paint around as I tend to be really controlled. Really enjoyed just scribbling and dripping on this winter inspired pic. I love winter and winter animals. Caribou and tundra swans are perfect for that mood! While cleaning up a stack of paper and board I came across some good watercolour paper. And thus!
29x13 pencil, watercolour and coloured pencil on watercolour paper.

Do you like using the bristol board or watercolour paper better? Which kind do you prefer? You probably don't remember but so many years ago you suggested that I try the oatmeal recycled/drawing paper.

It depends on what medium I'm using. My very fav surface for just about anything is Peterborough #80 cold press illustration board, very versatile. It takes ink, pencil, coloured pencil, watercolour, acrylics and gouache equally well. \Not good for markers. Bristol is good for markers and inking. It will take watercolour but is not the best surface for it, the paint tends to puddle and absorb in patches. Watercolour paper takes ink and watercolour well. I like the Arches Hot Press 140 lb blocks( they have a pink cover). There are a number of watercolour papers sold in sheets that I also like but my brain is not supplying the name right now.

Actually I use more acrylic than watercolour Probably 40%watercolour as oppose to %60 acrylic. I like to paint most of all.

I didn't realize that most of it was acrylic.
