Logged a few more hours on the Quest for The Ideal Paper over the weekend, trying out everything I had on hand in the studio: plain typing paper, Bristol, card stock, Arches (that is, the Good, Expensive Stuff) … At some point I found a cache of sample packs of watercolor paper, that I had completely forgotten about.
This page is all on Arches 140 lb. “En-Tout-Cas” (“All-Purpose”). Nice stuff.
I’m sorry to have missed MOCCA this year – it sounds like it’s packed with cool events and attending artists. Maybe next year …
Meta: According to Movable Type, this is the 100th entry on this blog. Hooray for persistence.
