Yes, Peter, I've used Two Rivers and like it - it's a tough paper - and I bought some at Patchings last year. This is a lovely, calm watercolour painting, harmonious palette.

Thank you Pat, I agree, it's a lovely, hard-working paper and I look forward to using it much more. Thanks for the comment ; )

Lovely sparkle on the water Peter.

Excellent watercolour, lovely reflections, nice composition

Simple and evocative and thanks for explaining your findings with the paper.

Thanks Louise, Petra, Robert and Jane!

Another good painting Peter I know the place well.Was sorry not to have seen your exhibition. I hope it went well.

Thanks Joy, yes the show went well, thanks. This painting and a couple of others are up at The Herne Bay Pier Trust's Gallery by the Clock Tower for this week, if you're about.

A new painting on a kind of paper, namely Two Rivers handmade paper, which is handcrafted in Somerset, England. I am a great fan of rough, textured papers and Two Rivers has both in spades. Unusually, the water will lie in droplets on the surface (if no washes are added previously) as it so hard-sized, but this makes for a much more workable surface. The rocky surface is made for my richly-textured work and I am already a fan and will be posting more paintings on the paper as I extend my experience with it.
