tutorial.

● Hot pressed paper, 140lb, 200lb or 300lb in white (100 cotton is best
as it has the most resilience).
● Currently I am using the 640gms or a block of 300gsm hot pressed
bright white Fabriano Artistico (enhanced quality make). I am
trialing using both sides, but recently leaning toward the side where
the water mark is readable.

where you can buy the paper.
It s important you try a few papers to find the one that suits you best.
If you are a beginner and want to try the Fabriano, buy one big sheet
and cut it into around 8 pieces, this way if one piece goes wrong you
have several others to play with, or buy the block: Fabriano Artistico
Block 25 Sheets Extra White HP
● I also sell and use my A5 Bockingford hot pressed paper, it s good
everyday paper.
● Scraps of paper for testing colours.

All of my brushes are available from my online store.
I have decided to use only synthetic brushes from now on due to ethical
and sustainable reasons, I will keep my sable brushes and use them until
they are worn but won t be advertising them or selling them once the stock
has cleared.
