Thanks for answering me so quickly!! I just found some bristol paper last week. Now,I know what to do with it. Keep on keeping on, Milliande, I just love to see you work. The hand of the artist is a mystery to me and you are so generous in your sharing.

Wonderful!!!

[ruthleahd]

Hey, Millande, I just found you through your paper doll templates and have been sitting at my pc watching you alll daaaayyyy! Wow! is all I can say.

btw- one question - what kind of paper do you use for this paper doll. It has to be durable enough for water, but not as thick as some watercolor paper, right? Is it printed out on cardstock?

Thanks!!!!

[Milliande]

Giggle ... spending all day with "me" how fun ... I use a strong paper , such as maybe in the us bristol board etc that can take some bashing about ... I dont like watercolor paper as it is too buckely for detail images ...glad you are enjoying yourself .. milliande

I love all your videos these are so inspiring! I am picking up my journal tomorrow to start one. I am so happy that I found your videos! Tell what brand of water color crayons do you use? I have Lyra but not pleased with them. Also what type of water color pencils do you recommend. I am on a shopping spree to Dick Blicks tomorrow! Can you say NO GROCERIES this week! :)

[Milliande]

Giggle... sounds like you are off.. yipeee

Watercolor crayons :

CARAN D'ACHE NEOCOLOR II CRAYONS

watch out they do a nonsoluble one too

Watercolor Pencils:

Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer

I tested lots of watercolor pencils, these are very richly pigmented , brilliant for working over gesso /:-)

Really glad you got inspired by my videos ...have fun playing
