I love working on Arches paper.
Maybe it goes back to my years as a watercolorist and the happy memories of painting
alongside my mother, sitting in the car in a country lane in England,
balancing paint water and cups of tea and trying not, in a absent-minded moment,
to use the tea to rinse the brush!
However, as I'm using acrylic paint and not watercolor,
maybe the comparison is more likely between paper and canvas.
I find that paper is an absorbing, well textured and quick surface to paint on
that accepts both a sheer wet glaze or a thick juicy brush load of acrylic paint.
Whereas canvas requires a fair many layers of paint
before the weave of the canvas no longer shows through,
and when time is short, I'll take any extra help I can get!
