H E L P ..... ANYONE ...... Some of my graphite portrait customers frame their own drawings instead of having them professionally framed and so you and I know that many of those drawings will not be archival for many reasons. I want to know if I can safely draw on a more permanent surface like stretched canvas or gessobord panels? The main reason is that often a portrait will be handed down for generations "if" it survives as it originally appears.
I've been looking for a video just like this. I assume your in Australia :-) I'm UK and only aware of Strathmore Windsor & Newton and Dealer. If you are able to demo colour pencil I'd be a happy chap. Thankyou for the video
Hi Kevin I am an Australian but currently living in the UK:) You can purchase St Cuthberts Mill papers from many local art stores and online (which are made right here in the UK.) You can get the Saunders Waterford HP paper in a block here www.saa.co.uk/saunders-waterford-block-300gsm-228-x-304mm-9-x-12-20-sheets-hp.html As for coloured pencil - yes I must do that. I am so busy creating hundreds of videos for my Complete Drawing Certificate Course which are all apart of my paid course at DrawPJ.com - you are welcome to come along and join in there too if you wish. Happy drawing!

Wow that eraser means business. What brand is that? Referring to the first one used.
Derwent eraser. It's electric.
