Hi all, 1st of all I'd like to introduce myself, I'm a total newbie, Ian's my name, and am at present totally confused, frustrated, and walking in circles muttering obscenities at myself.
I'm wanting to try for as much near photo realism, people, animals, grandkids ( they come under both titles ! )
Anyhow, I've just bought some Frisk Bristol board, on lots of recommendations and got all set to have a go with some erasing, scratching technique.
Nope!! It's not having any of it ??? I'm using createx illustration paints, just like I've seen Dru Blair and his students, but " NOPE SIREEE" nothing whatsoever.
Should I be prepping the paper in some way, or should I be doing something with the paint ? Help please,
