SPQR BLUES Chapter V

Today’s paper is Daler-Rowney’s Langton Prestige, 140lb/300gsm cold press/”not.”

I didn’t like it all that much. This drawing incorporates homemade paints, Indigo, Japanese-style Kuretake Gansai Tambi paint (did not play well with the paper), and various commercial-brand watercolours (Sennelier, M Graham, MaimeriBlu, & Daniel Smith). The paper holds up perfectly fine to lots of water (which seems to dry oddly quickly), to lifting/scrubbing off paint, and layering. I think the various paints look a bit lifeless, in a way that’s hard to quantify.
