So, this is where I'll be all weekend... Fabriano is working wonderfully with the acrylic, it seems sturdier than Stonehenge but a little more textured, so I think Stonehenge will remain my go-to for gouache but for what I'm planning for this piece Fabriano is perfect! #JAWCooper #acrylic #fabriano #wip

"Give Me Darkness" transferred to CM Fabriano and mounted to gessoed panel. CMF is not my usual paper (Stonehenge is my steeze) so this could all go to shit quickly but it's so important to keep experimenting with different tools/materials/ways of working that the risk is worth it! #JAWCooper #graphite #CMFpaper #experiment
