Prud'hon, etc.
Thanks again, Juan.
I searched for the papers at our art store which supplies the local university - they only carry Stonehenge, Lenox, and Arches brands, a few other printmaking papers but not any Fabriano. I plan on ordering some soon. I did buy Stonehenge and Lenox and have started a drawing on the Lenox. What a difference! I already feel better about the application and my control. As in everything in painting, as well as drawing - the supplies really do make all the difference.
I have been to the Prud'hon site - actually went there a few weeks ago and viewed Alfonzon's work as well. Yes, her work is very good. I must've found her link and yours at about the same time from ARC, I think!
Thank you again for all the advice. I really do need it since it has been so long since I was serious about finishing drawings and am very interested in it again.
One more thing: I think I remember that you are from Montreal. My brother's girlfriend lives there and I visited a couple of Februarys ago. My brother works in Ottawa. Wow! I loved it even in the deep snow of February. I have not visited in the summer, which my brother and girlfriend say is unbelievably beautiful. What a wonderful city - and the food!
Sincerely,
