Rougher paper prevents granulating accidents to happen, its pronounced texture locks paint to be active into small areas only. <br />Try on few different papers and see how you go ...<br />Thanks Peter,<br />Zvonimir, Melbourne, AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-43160068577310091432012-06-04T01:34:22.445-07:002012-06-04T01:34:22.445-07:00Thanks for commenting Rui.

Somehow it seems that they use some sort of magnetic field which I am sure is not the case.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />RuiRuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127634129424242047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-16985695396110956112012-06-02T14:50:53.054-07:002012-06-02T14:50:53.054-07:00I think that's the danger Yvonne- going overbo...I think that's the danger Yvonne- going overboard on them!

I will use them in some of my floral backgrounds. I suspect , however, that they need to be used sparingly, so as not to overdo the effectYvonne Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138131276780458571noreply@blogger.com
