Art Materials: Supports That I Use On A Regular Basis
Arhes Hot Press Watercolour paper is a beautifully smooth heavyweight paper in a creamy white colour. Perfect for fine detail in wet or dry media.This is the support I use most often for drawing and painting birds.
Ampersand Pastelbord,
Pastelbord is a clay and gesso coated hardboard panel with a granular marble dust finish.
Polydraw 75 micron roll
I use Polydraw 75 micron manufactured by West Design which is described as a double matt surface polyester film.
I will provide a link when I find a supplier of the 75 micron pads rather than the roll.
I understand that in countries other than the UK an equivalent product is mylar.
