It's always good to testing different surfaces. How do you like this paper so far? Are you going to do something in colour too, I mean pencils or inks.

Thanks again guys, appreciated! Art… this hemp is too thin for watercolour but fine for pastel and coloured pencils. It’s also great for pen and ink. I’ve done some watercolour sketches on Agave, I posted one yesterday. So far so good, they hold up well against traditional papers… to a degree!
