Dear Teoh,

Dear Teoh,

Thanks for doing these detailed tests. I think I understand a little bit more about my experience moving from only painting in Fluid Blocks to trying Arches for the first time. In many ways I had to relearn how to paint. Several techniques that produced bad results before now produced amazing results (wet in wet charging). And several things I know about how much paint to mix also was completely thrown off.

I've come to conclude the art of painting on cotton paper is a separate thing with it's own nuances, as is the art of using cellulose. And both of them defiantely have their own place. Cellulose papers are undeniably cheaper and it does mean I try and paint a lot more on them without the fear of wasting paper.
