Thank you, Angie, for a very informative video today on choosing WC paper. When I started this journey 9 months ago, I had kids WC paper ($2 for 50 sheets) and my results were dismal. I invested in my Canson XL ($11 for 30 sheets) and Strathmore 300 series ($10 for 12 sheets) By price point you would think the last one is best but it always pills on me as soon as it's wet and I HATE the texture. I did pull out both kinds today and did the painting on each - the one here is on Canson XL - the other went straight to the garbage. Some day when I'm feeling rich, I'll see if I can find either the Arches or Fabriano - in the meantime, I'll work with what I've got.
The painting itself was actually quite easy - just blending a few colors for a sunset sky and adding vague mountain shapes with a bit more color for each layer.
