Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Hi Louis. Thanks! Yes painting in the spaces with the cerulean blue really helps with that! And I like the shapes too! Not always on purpose! 👍👍

So subtle and so beautiful. It's a great example of 'less is more' in painting. Your suggestion to try different skyscapes on A5 paper is something I'll start doing more of. I've done a couple, but need more practice and I'll try more variety of colour combos or even monochrome too.

Hi Mark! I’m really pleased you enjoyed it. Pretty subtle! I do think working small gives you the opportunity to experiment snd if not working move onto the next one! 👍👍

Wow, so good - is the Rives paper rough? How did you achieve the granulation? Thank you - I'll try it.
@ScottSwinson
@ScottSwinson 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Iwona! Rives is not rough. It is not even as rough as arches cold pressed watercolour paper. But it does have some undulations in the surface and the granulation occurs because I use so much water and the paper does have some texture. 👍👍

How is it that when you paint this quickly your yellow and blue do not go green?!

@ScottSwinson 2 жыл бұрын
It's because I kept them totally separate and then bought in the stronger colours over the top without too much mixing.
