I am surprised with this! I ruined my hand with the first coloured pencils i tryed  and had to stop drawing for 2 months. I was stupid … I like this “doodling” that came from your left hand…Its something that could have come out of my right hand… my dominant hand…I will think very seriously about this.

Thank you Joshua , this is very helpful for me,

Meanwhile I did some “research” and learned that if the paper is heavy enough, you dont have to stretch it, because it wont buckle.  Forgive me everyone for I was wrong on my first post.

I’m still doing tha basic lessons but I,m already loving the course and already learn so much. I,m having fun practicing and hope to post something for critique in a week or two…or three…a sphere or something like that, dont expect much more for now…

I signed up NMA because of this course and Iliya. I’m glad I did it, Im loving it…

I looked other courses that seam great also, but this one is enough for now

Thank you very much ( and forgive any misspelled word).

Regards everyone

Hi Brian, thats a good question…I also don’t know but the one for Heavyweight drawing seems to be too thin  to be wetted and stratched.. So you are probabilly right. I don´t have strahmore here in Lisbon, so I,m getting the Accademia Fabriano with 200gr/m2 or maybe the watercolour Fabriano with 300gr/m2… the prices are totally diferent, though. So maybe i’ll wait a bit more and hope someone ansewrs your question. ( Anyway, my drawings are going to hit the trash bin for the next months …years….no matter what paper i use). Good luck and have fun…
