Wallis Paper Experiment

I had heard about Wallis and other sanded papers and I ordered some to try it out. This is my little experiment. It's really gritty feeling, but does the job. Now I need to spray it and varnish it to see how it holds up. It says on the cover that it takes acrylics, also.

The afternoon just flew by while I worked on this in my dining room. I meant to go back to my studio, but I just got so wound up in this that I forgot.

Bird Dog Revisited

This has been a full art day, but Bird Dog is all I have to show for it. Time just slips away! There are some new acrylics I've started in the studio but they will be kept under wraps until I feel I've achieved what I'm setting out to do. Last night I ordered some linoleum blocks so I can print on my paintings. I'm excited about that.
This is the first time I've used Wallis paper and I can't say yet whether I like it. Of course, it is less expensive than Pastelbord, but then there are the framing expenses. So either way the artistic life is not cheap.
