4th Entry for December 17, 2008
For the last 2 poses of the night, which were 25- and 30- minutes, I tried some heavy acid-free mayfair paper that another drawer had on hand. He was dissatisfied with its' smoothness - a quality I presently like in papers. A smooth surface yields a finer-grained gray tone when the side of a piece of conte is swept across it.
The paper was okay, but only about 65% as big as the newsprint pads I favour these days, which was a constraint.
