I use Strathmore 400 Bristol, which is really really heavy. It ROCKS for pen and ink, does well with fine line graphite, of course acrylic ink or liquid acrylics do well on it, and watercolor misbehaves in a very fun way!<BR/>:-DLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173203466820523905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-30596261457486295072008-11-13T11:42:00.000-05:002008-11-13T11:42:00.000-05:00Wow, this is an eye opener - Fabulously bright and...Wow, this is an eye opener - Fabulously bright and vibrant and patriotic!

The point is you remembered the day and didn't forget.<BR/><BR/>What a great paintiing! The colours just 'pop'!<BR/><BR/>So what is it like painting on Bristol Board? I tried painting on Fabriano Hot Press 100% cotton rag yesterday. Is it anything like that?? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my Blog and leaving a great comment ;))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-30385412623253280172008-11-12T22:55:00.000-05:002008-11-12T22:55:00.000-05:00OMG Linda, this is gorgeous!

It makes me want to pull out some photos and give it a try. The bell pepper is fantastic too.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.com
