Rich. Strong colors. How do you like working with the Colourfix, if you don't mind my asking?
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert. I love Colourfix, one of my favorite papers for most of my cactus paintings. I like that it has such a good tooth for large strokes in the background. It's not the best for detail. I am still experiementing with as many new papers that come out, they all lend themselves best to different styles of painting. I see that you joined my running blog site . Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it. I'll take a look at your work!
