About Watercolor Pencil Portraits
I have put together a few notes about the materials I use for each
of the watercolor pencil portraits that I do for my customers.
Without exception I always use Winsor & Newton paper for my
watercolor portraits. I have tried using other brands, but to
me the Winsor & Newton paper, just has that something that
adds a special touch to the portrait!
Unless specifically requested, all portraits will be the same size
90 lb/190 gsm, 10 inches by 7 inches (25.4 centimeters by 17.8 centimeters) on acid free, cold pressed quality "Cotman" paper.
Cotman paper is internally and externally sized and is recommended
by the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.
I use Staedtler, Albrecht Duerer, or Rembrandt Aquarelle pencils, when
doing a portrait. They are used in combination when working on a
Portrait, as the different brands work better on different processes
and stages of a portrait, and my goal is to provide you with the most
life like portrait possible.
