  • Paper I Like To Use

    In this episode, we dive into the essential topic of choosing the right paper for your sketches. Join me as I discuss my go-to sketchpad, the Canson Universal Sketch series, and why I prefer its 65-pound, toothy texture for drawing. I'll share tips on selecting a paper that suits your drawing style, whether you're into smooth or rough surfaces and the importance of experimenting with different textures to enhance your artistic skills.

    Drawing is the backbone of painting, and finding the right tools can make all the difference. Tune in to learn why this particular sketchpad has become a staple in my artistic process and discover practical advice that will inspire you to keep improving your drawing techniques.
