I think the paper I'm using ...Thanks Rhonda.... I think the paper I'm using is SOFT PRESS. Or.. at least it feels pretty soft. The blossoms are softer and fainter-- therefore not as striking as I'd like. The jury is still out on whether I will use it or not.<br />Will share my new painting here in a few days.<br /><br />Than you Studio--- I am still experimenting... but hopefully able to post something tomorrow!<br /><br />thank you Christiane. I haven't made any strong decisions about Fabriano yet. It's too early to tell if I like it or not. So far.. it seems fairly gentle and more responsive than Arches.... but the results are not quite as dynamic. We shall see. Will post more paintigs later.Carol Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079373279744656248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744619184745308158.post-61105044641087371362012-04-15T08:11:27.394-07:002012-04-15T08:11:27.394-07:00Carol, I have been using the Fabriano Soft Press l...Carol, I have been using the Fabriano Soft Press lately and I love it!

Each paper does something different and I wouldn't want you to lose your blossoms and backruns!RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.com
