the full quid



Heather Lee gave me this paper Fabriano Uno when I was visiting Red Deer. I had never used nor seen it before.  Feels like about 300gsm. It is beautiful for both pencil work and gouache ... just beautiful. This work has been done with a .035 propelling pencil, Schmincke gouache and a 1/2 Brause.
