It can be confusing knowing what to look for when choosing the right kind of paper for shading.
In this video below you get to watch over my shoulder as I test 5 different papers from the wonderful St Cuthberts Mill. It should be noted that St Cuthberts Mill recommends each one of these papers for a range of different applications. Each has certain strengths and advantages, but in this case I am specifically focussed on my personal use with graphite pencil.
Towards the end of this video I recommend my favourites from the papers I've tested. So join me on my journey through the world of paper from St Cuthberts Mill.

I've been looking for a video just like this. I assume your in Australia :-) I'm UK and only aware of Strathmore Windsor & Newton and Dealer. If you are able to demo colour pencil I'd be a happy chap. Thankyou for the video

H E L P ..... ANYONE ...... Some of my graphite portrait customers frame their own drawings instead of having them professionally framed and so you and I know that many of those drawings will not be archival for many reasons. I want to know if I can safely draw on a more permanent surface like stretched canvas or gessobord panels? The main reason is that often a portrait will be handed down for generations "if" it survives as it originally appears.
