Thanks Terri. I got a block of 50 sheets about 5years ago when it was a very good buy. I'm undecided about it for watercolour use, but found it OK to learn watercolour with - but one has to be careful removing masking fluid! The surface texture and weight (425g) makes it a good option for oil pastels but it can be anoying having to fill in all the holes/although they do give an interesting effect. I did a quick watercolour underpainting for this one to help with that, some of which is still visible.

I've never tried watercolor for an underpainting with oil pastels. I've used Turpenoid over a base layer of student grade OPs, same "filler" effect for papers with texture like this seems to have.

You did a beautiful job here!

 

[ColorEnthusiast]

Beautiful. You have a special way to render water and as the others said overall rich in color and textures.
