I am so much happier using this paper.  The texture is so much nicer and you can work the paper much more.  The previous paper would get all fluffy and flat look when you put more then a couple of layers of pain on it.  and the texture was just awful.  So it is decided.  Nice paper all the way. None of this trying to be frugal and economical and use up crappy paper just for the sake of it.

This was a quick simple image which used reference from a photo I had taken years ago and kept with the intention of using one day.  I trialed different brushes for different patterns and kept the colours fairly minimal.

The good news is I am back in front with my challenge and an am eagre to get onto the next image.

I also have a good reason to go over some old stock and artwork and rework it and develop it further.
