That wasn't always the case, but since I have I sometimes wonder what all the fuss is about as everyone seems to prefer it. I don't work larger than 11x14 (only once in a blue moon) so I don't stretch my paper, just tape it to a board, and when I leave it I put heavy books on it. <br />That seems to work for me as to the buckling. <br /> <br />I've just received some Fabriano Artistico in sheets and I'll see how that compares.Barbra Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263982645593300365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937620435437816120.post-24074192237804416692014-03-25T05:02:46.903-07:002014-03-25T05:02:46.903-07:00I think it is beautiful, Nancy.

You know what I am finding with Arches paper? I recently bought two blocks of the watercolor paper, two different sizes. On both of them, I cannot get the top piece off the block with it tearing the painting. And I use an exacto knife to help me and it still tears. Super frustrating.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937620435437816120.post-161597796078601662014-03-24T20:51:10.667-07:002014-03-24T20:51:10.667-07:00Merci Martinealison.

Je n'aime pas en ce qui me concerne travailler à l'huile sur des toiles qui ne sont pas celles que j'ai l'habitude d'utiliser. J'ai mis des années à aboutir à celles que j'emploie aujourd'hui. J'ai testé, testé beaucoup d'entre elles et enfin j'ai trouvé celles qui me conviennent. Alors je comprends qu'il est difficile de changer.<br />Gros bisousmartinealisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.com
