I usually use hot-pressed paper for smaller watercolors and anything that has finer details that I want to capture. Other than that, I use just about whatever I can find but prefer Arches 140lb cold-pressed for most of my work. I seldom use rough paper unless I am working on a full sheet then usually go with 300lb as I don't have to stretch the paper then and it's easier to move the sheet around as I work. In some of my earlier blogs I talk about the way that I use washes etc along with a few demonstrations, perhaps that would provide some insight as to how I work but will gladly provide more if you need it. Thanks and take care!Jeremy Pearsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145759344088689647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339833166446716745.post-40733089570968841522011-06-05T14:32:24.916-07:002011-06-05T14:32:24.916-07:00Jeremy, did I already ask you what weight and text...Jeremy, did I already ask you what weight and texture of watercolor paper you use. I love the way you layer and want to incorporate those techniques in my work.Vernon Washingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14605629344593288794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339833166446716745.post-73713955378592824062011-06-01T07:56:17.525-07:002011-06-01T07:56:17.525-07:00Thanks Pete and Vernon for your very perceptive co...Thanks Pete and Vernon for your very perceptive comments! Yes, there will be a bird in the scene as soon as I can get back to the painting. As to the species, well you will have to wait a bit for it to appear! I've been away and need to catch up on a few things before getting back to the work - but hopefully soon:)Jeremy Pearsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145759344088689647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339833166446716745.post-64937972154546914672011-05-20T09:53:30.213-07:002011-05-20T09:53:30.213-07:00This turned out great!
