Gorgeous clouds and skies. Even though you don't narrate your painting, I feel that your process is so clear visually that I may be able to make a try at this. Thank you for this!

Merci beaucoup

The painting looks great. Do you use Bockingford for all your paintings? Do you prefer it to cotton or use it because it's less expensive? I've never used it before but have wanted to try it.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks!! I use several types if paper, they all give different results. I really like Saunders Waterford. Arches and Millford are also great. Bockingford is the best wood pulp paper I’ve tried. St Cuthberts Mill make a 200lb version, which I used for this painting.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

@@ChrisStephenArt Thank you. I'll give the 200lb Bockingford a try when I can get some.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@@JayNathanWatercolor You’re welcome
