These folks seem to have quite a duck farm going.

I hope you keep painting these slum series because they are looking great Pat!
BTW Does Bokingford have as little grain as it looks like here?

Thank you, Teresa, I'm glad you like my slums!
I have a third one in the works, but that will be the last, at least for now. Scenes like these are not exactly common in the part of Manila where I live, and it is very rare that I have occasion to pass by areas where they are.
Re: Bockingford paper
It does have a little grain, but not much. I'm not too crazy about it. It's a totally humdrum paper, doesn't have much seizing, but it is OK for "normal" painting and it's cheap, like 1/3 the price of Arches. I bought a few sheets to try it out, but I don't think I'll get any more.

Thank you very much for the info on the paper Pat.
I've just seen the third one, they all look really good though I understand, you can't be hunting slums all over all the time! lol
