I'm fascinated by what art supplies people use, especially when it comes to this mysterious watercolor medium. The dreaded paper I use paper are square pads I bought at our local art store in Maine called Artist & Craftsman". They are their own brand called it's "hip to be square". Since I am a beginner this seemed like the best (expense-wise) choice for my daily paintings. It is really absorbent which is what makes me crazy, but I have learned to compensate. I drag little Moleskines around when we are out and about.<br /><br />Thanks for the paper information you were so helpful. I'm off to order some for my Charles Reid workshop in Vermont next month.<br /><br />Best always—JenniferJennifer Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11055322955648732681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-63226898774448478802009-05-24T21:34:47.609-04:002009-05-24T21:34:47.609-04:00I really like the second one.

I think your work here is great--you sound as if you are very good at taking lessons and putting them into practice and really learning as you do. I love what I've seen of your work and always listen to what you say about workshops. <br /><br />And on another note, I'm really loving your painting, Laura--it's just beautiful!

Love this one... and the one below it. Both convey expression very well - and with so few strokes. Sigh.... not sure I'll ever be able to paint loose like that.
