The first stop was a visit to Daniel Smith. While it was not my first visit it felt like dying and going to heaven.<br />I came home with fist fulls of juicy new tubes of wc.<br /><br />This is a great post because it is so thorough.

I completely agree with your assessment of hot- versus cold-press, though with brush-and-ink linework I found that I had to work with HP. But now that you mention CP it's got me thinking. I may have to give it another shot!ETCIllustrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987934593226565946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-71376337857109478712010-01-19T10:42:13.788-08:002010-01-19T10:42:13.788-08:00Wow!
