Good job I like the different media you use. What paper you use for portraits and landscapes is the same? Also, can I use watercolor paper 140 lb.-300 g? cold press. Thanks for sharing...

[@SuperABarrow]

Thank you!
I use lining paper with a coat of actylic gesso for the charcoal and acrylic portraits/figure work and Bockingford 200lb extra rough for watercolour work. :0)
