If I don't reply, it's not that I'm not interested in your comment, just that I have no way of knowing when someone has commented on an older blog, such as this this one, which is rom 2009. I'll' check again with Blogger to see if they have fixed this yet.Byrne Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483285005782515422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770277846591515435.post-65843237565285771342014-01-10T15:01:33.772-06:002014-01-10T15:01:33.772-06:00Thank you.

Fabriano Artistico is available in 300lb sheets at 29.5" x 41" in both bright white and traditional white. The same paper in 140lb is available in rolls of 55" x 11 yards.<br /><br />Arches cold press is available in 44" x 10 yard and 51" x 10 yard rolls as well, but only in the traditional white, not bright white.<br /><br />They are probably the two highest quality wc papers out there. The large sheets and rolls are available at www.jerrysartarama.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770277846591515435.post-45552200255078061252010-08-28T23:57:44.032-05:002010-08-28T23:57:44.032-05:00Any idea where I can get large (3 ft x 3 ft or so)...Any idea where I can get large (3 ft x 3 ft or so) coldpress watercolor paper? what are good brands? thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770277846591515435.post-91752156124636393732010-04-11T16:21:51.367-05:002010-04-11T16:21:51.367-05:00I have been using various brands of Bristol paper ...I have been using various brands of Bristol paper for drawing with pencil. I have noticed recently that there has either been a change in paper quality or possibly a change in the graphite used for drawing pencils.<br /><br /> For thirty odd years I have been using Venus pencils as they seemed to have the truest value scale. Lately I notice that a 2H pencil is actually softer than an H and the same is true of other weights. What tends to happen is that a nice "smooth" Bristol works well for the detail (H range of pencels), but tends to cause sheen when used with the softer B - 6B pencels which I need for rich blacks. <br /><br />If anyone has a suggestion please respond.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770277846591515435.post-27967874503263155112009-12-29T16:14:06.891-06:002009-12-29T16:14:06.891-06:00Hello!!! orbisplanis.blogspot.com is one of the mo...Hello!!! orbisplanis.blogspot.com is one of the most excellent innovative websites of its kind.
