For artists there are few things that can match the excitement of new materials. A trip to the art supply store is like a pilgrimage. Living in a very rural area has curtailed that particular pleasure for me, as my supplies these days arrive in bundles from the UPS guy. Still, one of the first things I do when a new roll of canvas arrives is unwrap it and unroll just a little so I can feel and smell it.
A few weeks ago artist Brian McGurgan mentioned on his blog a source for paper-Twinrocker Handmade Paper. As I am teaching an online class on drawing and painting trees soon, Ive been trying out different papers for pencil and charcoal. So, I ordered their sample swatch set and a few small sheets of one of their papers. What pure delight to open that package and find such beautiful papers! That day the UPS guy looked a lot like Santa.

You have some mad drawing skills Deborah. Good to see the drawings. You can tell so much about someone through their drawings. I can tell your love and skill walk side by side.
I can see the thrill of the paper with
your simple drawing and how understated
but very informational. Great job and effect.
I would order more paper.
What a very lovely thing to say Gregory-thank you!
Hi Doug- thanks-already done!

Thanks Nancy!

Merry Christmas Deborah!
Thank you Bill and Merry Christmas to you too!
