do occasionally wander into the esoteric papers. While my normal
day-to-day paper is Fabriano Artistico 140 lb. cold pressed, which is
very forgiving and easy to work with, sometimes I am lured to the
sensual side of the handmade papers. I like working all the way to the
deckles on the Twinrocker - I am attaching one I did on that. <br>
The other really sensual paper I have used is Fabriano Esportazione,
150 lb. ROUGH. It is NOT forgiving, but you can get surprisingly sharp
edges and wonderful deep and dark wet-on-wet work. And the surface
texture is just not to be believed. It is unlike ANY other paper I
have used. You just can't make mistakes (heh, heh). No fancy feather
deckles, but really amazing texture.
<br>
<br>
As an aside - I have read people talking about how some papers don't
accept paint well. Over the years, I have discovered that almost all
brands I have used have occasional pieces of paper that get
"dandruff". This happens when you are painting and think that you have
wetted the paper thoroughly with paint, but when it dries, you realize
that there are tiny white spots in the wash that the paint never
touched. This is not always noticeable in light colored areas, but
where you have a dark passage it looks like dandruff has speckled your
paint.
<br>
<br>
As a result, I always treat my paper before painting with ox gall
liquid. I put a half a capfull of the liquid (made by Winsor Newton)
into 8 ounces of water, then paint it liberally on the paper I need to
treat. After drying, you can't tell it was treated - but washes lay
down better, and "dandruff" is a thing of the past. <br>
I have attached paintings showing results on both Twinrocker and
Esportazione. You can probably tell which is which.
