EDM #98 - Free Choice: Draw Anything You Like


Last summer I ordered a small Lama Li watercolor book that was described as having cold-pressed paper. The name Lama Li was nowhere on the label or book, and even though the label stated cold pressed, the paper is rough. I was just starting to learn watercolors, and I did not want something new and strange in the mix. The book was put aside.

Feeling sorry for the poor, neglected book, I pulled it out to give it a try. Interesting paper. The paper won't take any abuse, but I like the way colors react. The book will be put away again, waiting for the time my skills develop more and I can handle the paper.

This paper sounds interesting. I have some cards that are supposed to be for watercolor. The paint doesn't flow on it at all. Very frustrating. It does take practice for sure. Good luck in 2008.

I like these, Jenny!!! I've been using Raffine for so long, even with other sketchbooks like Moleskine watercolor book, I tend to go back to my Raffine -- I guess it's what we're used to. May 2008 be wonderful for you!! HAPPY 2008!

The colors here are brilliant. I've heard other people complain about working on Lama Li - but this looks pretty good from hre. Happy 2008, Jenny!
