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.

Im following all your videos. Great stuff !!! Sensational pieces. What distinguishes the artist from another is the outpouring of love and passion in the piece rather than just being technical. You have both ❤️

I appreciate you pointing out the mistakes one might see and why you may choose to not fiddle with it! I needed to hear that. It was great seeing how you overcame the accidental dripping of dark color! As a photographer, it was great to see the new setup, light and angles. Looks professional. I am sure the production end is a bear to deal with as well as all that harddrive space! Thanks for all you do for us!

Thank you Scott for sharing your talent so graciously. Somewhat of an irrelevant question maybe but what tape do you use to hold your paper down. Other than the brown parcel tape, everything I have used just detaches when I add as much water as you use. Love your work BTW.

@ScottSwinson 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Alan! I know tape can be so frustrating! The tape I have found to be the best is 3M (scotch) magic tape. In a green packet. The widest one you can get. It works really well if you put 1/4-1/3 of the width onto the paper and 2/3-3/4 onto the mdf board! If your board is dry and you push it on hard everywhere then it is all good! You can of course also pre-stretch with the brown craft tape or gum tape what ever you want to call it. Hope that helps! 👍👍
