Paper for color studies
From the email bag, Kris asks:
Hi, Tesia,
A friend and I are going to experiment with Acrylic color mixing, using some of the exercises in the Golden Color Mixing Guide. We would like to bind the experiments into a book, so we want to do it on paper. What paper would you recommend for this? Thanks!

Hi Kris
Thanks for your note. I would suggest you use canvas paper from canvas pads. These are inexpensive and give you the same surface as a regular stretched canvas. You could also use watercolor paper. This will give you a very absorbent surface that is less like a real canvas. When you are finished with your samples, let them dry really well and then coat them with a very thin coat of Matte Medium. This will prevent them from sticking together inside the book.
Have fun and send me a picture of the completed book!
Cheers!
