Very sad to hear the news of Joe's passing, he sure left quite the mark on the art community and will be dearly missed. Lovely tribute to your friend... RIP Joe Miller 💞Hugs to you and Kate💞

I'm sorry to hear the sad news about your friend, Bob. I kept a faded print of a Cheap Joe instruction page on how to shade a face.. cool and/or warm on my studio wall for years, all the way here in Belgium. As I watch you, on this early and grey Monday morning , waiting for the traffic jam from the school next door to subside before taking the car to the garage for maintenance (oh! Happiness!!).. our fading old dog curled up next to me, I'm trying to conjure up a word that would describe what you do best aside from I learn from you every time, and the best that I can come up with is 'joy-sharing' in that sunny way of yours. So, thank you for that gift to me and to the world, despite what it throws at you from time to time, like the loss of your old friend. Can't wait to get back now and paint, I'll even give some of your little cries of delight a try as the colours slosh beautifully on the paper… our old dog is deaf now anyway 🥰 Take care x

[@RobertBurridge]

Thank you - we appreciate your kind thoughts.

Lovely, learning so much here, especially from the other side of the world. Two questions though. 1.Can ungessoed watercolor paper be used with dr ph martins sepectralite acrylics. these are thinned high flow acrylics, the packaging says that they can be used with paper but you mentioned that watercolor paper will suck in the acrylics. 2.Can plain ungessoed watercolor paper be used with oil pastels directly? I know that they were developed to be used on a multitude of surfaces/ Your experiences or insights would be helpful.

[@bobburridge4696]

#1 Yes - you can certainly use Dr Martins and other water-based art materials on un-gessoed watercolor paper. The watercolor paper will absord the water-based paints, just like with watercolors. #2 Yes - you can use oil pastels directly on ungessoed watercolor paper. Try it and see what you think! Thanks for your questions!

[@romelmadray6706]

​@@bobburridge4696Thanks for taking the time to reply, Bob. once I can use the acrylic and its ok and will not disappear then that is great. was worried about the Dr. Ph Martin Spectralite fading or disappearing due to the absorbancy of the watercolor surface.
