[Aquanet] of paper and all that - BFK Rives = No Sizing

[Lorraine P. Dietrich]

Bonjour

I used BFK Rives years ago for etchings from a copper plate.

I tried it also with some WC techniques : live models drawings sessions.
I used it with sanguine (Conté crayons), WC Graphite pencils that you can 
wet, burnt sienna and black watercolor.
These were more like sketches, not paintings. Natural white is the color.

BFK Rives has no surface sizing so the colors with have lots more diffusion.
This behavior may be also found with Bockingford.
No sizing means that you will easlily tear or ripple the paper if you erase.

Some painters with very free and spontaneous style will love it.

You will find that paper at Daniel Smith - see engraving or etching part of 
the catalogue
