I used a more textured paper for the middle piece. It is 140lb,and I am not sure of the brand name. The one on the top is Fabriano.
The last piece is in my journal and the paper seems a little thin. I used acrylic grounds to coat the page before I put watercolor on, but I think I need to coat it more thickly. I'll start journaling on this page very soon.
I am hoping to paint with a new artist paper line that Strathmore is putting out in a couple of weeks. Some of my work will be featured in the Strathmore Artist Paper booth at NAMTA I can't wait to try it and let you all know the results!!

Love love the white pen around the images...looks like fun.
I love this kind of painting, finding images is something I learnt with Mystele in her online class and It is what I do to break myself out of a 'dry spell' with my usual painting work :)
I haven't tried it with watercolour though, I always tend to get as much texture in there as possible with this kind of art lol ;)
