I’d like to use my paint sticks while painting on location, but I’m not sure what paper to use. This is a test to see how the paint sticks work on rough watercolor paper. I drew this in the studio from a reference photo I took at the Wooden Shoe Tulip farm northeast of us.
I like working loose on this larger paper, but I’m not crazy about all the texture. I think I’ll stick to a smooth hot press paper.
Strathmore Series 400 rough watercolor paper, Mod Paint Sticks, Faber-Castel Gel Sticks, and Arteza flat waterbrush. Image is roughly 9×15 inches (23×38 cm).
