I have. They make many different kinds of paper. I can’t remember trying their watercolor paper. Do you like it?

I’ve been experimenting with watercolor papers. I’m really growing to like this Boahong cold press paper. Thomas Schaller described it as painting on pebbles. You can see this effect in the foreground water. β€œPacific Grove Iceplant,” 7x10” #watercolor #boahongwatercolorpaper #pacificgrove

Yes, I’m a senior that’s been protesting too. What’s going on here is cruel.

It’s a very rough cold press paper. At least 300gsm. It is unusually textured.

I sometimes wonder what life our self portraits will have after we pass. Will they be loved? Appreciated? Don’t know, and maybe I shouldn’t set expectations. Oil, 12x9” #oilpainting #portraitpainting #selfportrait #contemporaryart #figurativeart #lifedrawing #contempoarypainting
