Description


Digital Garden : 252

An experimented painting with watercolor paper called 'Canson Frontenay', I just wanted to test it doing simple painting But I've gone a bit too far.

You can view the painting process here.

======

Here's my opinion for this paper, for anyone who havent tried this watercolor paper before, but wanted to read a review before purchasing.

Since I've been using Montval watercolor paper for quite a while, and I would say It's similar to Montval [They are both from Canson, But I feel like Frontenay's paper fiber is a bit 
more flaky, and feel harder to paint, Its surface is quite durable, even when I scrubbed it with eraser so many times.

And its surface is displayed as 'Rough' on the cover but it looks like semi-rough to me. [also pretty similar to Montval which has semi-rough surface]
and this paper has smooth surface on the back side. But I haven't tried using it yet.

I have some more new watercolor paper blocks sitting in a shelf waiting for me to write a review for you guys, but I also need time to try them all first. Dead (RIP) so busy.

=============

Tools:
Sennelier L'aquarelle french artists' watercolor
Holbein artists' watercolor
Holbein artists' gouache
ZIG brushables marker
colored pencil
300g Frontenay watercolor paper

Thank you to iingo and cinyu for DD suggestion and feature, I appreciate it.
