APRIL ART SHOW

Hello, it's been a while...

I'm having another First Friday show, April the 1st at Sipping Streams Tea Company!
The opening will be that day from 5 to 7pm and there will be Alaska's award-winning tea to drink! I will have woodblock and silkscreen prints there on display and available for purchase. The show will hang for the month of April, so if you don't make the opening there is plenty of time to see it.
Sounds like fun, right?

Sketches on brown paper

I got some recycled drawing paper sold by Bee Paper. I found that it is a good weight for ink and markers, about 65-80 pound(?). Although, heavy applications of watercolor would not be best suited for this paper.
The texture is not so smooth, nor is it porous and bumpy like some papers. I found that if I want to erase a line in ink I can CAREFULLY scratch at the paper with my pocket knife to remove the line. It is because the paper is soft, I think, not so tightly pressed.
