South Stoke near Bath on Fabriano Paper
Jan 30, 2014
Landscape Watercolour of South Stoke Bath, 15" x 11".
I mostly have used Bockingford and Saunders watercolour papers over the last few years but decided to try Fabriano's top of the range paper (well cotton I think) in the rough. It had a stiffer feel compared to Saunders, and had a bit if a shiny surface too. I think you get accustomed to certain papers, and for me this took a bit of getting used to. It's a brighter surface and less absorbent I felt than Saunders. Probably a little rougher than the equivalent Saunders as well. It would probably be good if you like giving your paper a lot of abuse and rubbing out. Nice paper, but would need quite a few sheets for me to get used to.
