So great to sketch from these beautiful creations - in this case, using charcoal, graphite and Caran d'Ache neocolor 1 - on Strathmore 300 mixed media paper which I use as a sketchbook because the paper is tough enough for any dry media but not quite as expensive as the 400 series. Somehow, I just feel a little bit freer to do things on the less costly paper that I might not otherwise do on more expensive paper. Ever have that feeling? I love the 400 series though, and when it's on sale, I stock up! Thanks for stopping by!
