Fennel and Camellias
Paper: Stonehenge 250gsm White

I use Stonehenge as it has a deckle on two sides. I love the edges of the paper, you can see the stacked fibers and it takes acrylic paint really beautifully.

Stonehenge is pretty durable for painting and takes a lot of abuse; water, scratching into with pencils,etc. and also masking with gesso or acrylic paint. If a part of the paper is marked with opaque paint and another part is still unpainted it can be scratched into or incised and then painted with a more watercolor application of acrylics. The original opaque paint acts as a masking for the other watery layers and the contrast is great. It layers beautifully.

'Fennel and Camellias (30" x 16") is made with acrylic paint on Stonehenge paper ripped against a straight edge from a 30x22" sheet.
