2 deviants said Just wondering the thoughts on this, I may have an A3 CP drawing commission

1 deviant said I normally use Daler Rowney Prestige Watercolour paper but it's so thick to roll perfectly!

It can tolerate quite a lot of layers and blending!! I tested it with Prismacolors and (me being a newbie) it took quite a lot of punishment from me.

Just be a tiny bit careful if the paper has that sliiiight yellowish tint, because the colours might be a tiiiiiiiny bit off. (I didn't notice much, if any, difference, but then again, I'm not still not used with working with colour.) Try to test your colours on a separate piece of paper if you decide to work on it. (:

Thank you very much for the info, that's great, I'm going to give it a go, I think it will work for this project and now you've said it takes some punishment, I'm sold

I've used this paper before and I like it a lot, but only for graphite, I'll bear that in mind

~Nandale Apr 14, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I don´t have much experience with colour pencils, but it´s definitely awesome for graphite!
But I can very well imagine it to work just as fine...definitely worth a try, if you haven´t yet

=pbird12 Apr 15, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

I quite like it for graphite too, it blends really nicely, so I'm going to give it a go for sure

Thank you

~Nandale May 4, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

You're very welcome

Wish you a lot of fun with it!

Can't be sure until I try, but Hahnemühle might just be coarse enough to hold quite a bit a bit of color pencil I imagine.

=pbird12 Apr 13, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Thank you, I think I'll do a trial run today and see how it goes, if it takes about 6-7 layers, I'll be happy enough

Actually (the memory again!) I think this is what I used for The Last Supper and the colours looked good on it

*LilaeaBluecoat May 10, 2013

And? What happened? Did it work okay?

=pbird12 May 11, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Well, there is a story behind this, it kind of doesn't matter anymore, the person who had me spend hours on the sketch and putting it together based on a very very specific criteria, decided my vision wasn't what her vision was and has now disappeared ... no payment in sight

So I guess it matters no more

*LilaeaBluecoat 1 day ago

What a rotten thing to happen! I hope you're gonna start requesting payment upfront, or at least a down-payment before you even put pencil to paper! It would help to avoid these things, I'm sure! But wow that sucks...

I want to try CP's on Hahnmühle one of these days (simply because I don't think I have any other suitable paper), so I'll let YOU know.
