Re: Somerset Velvet paper

2004-11-30 by Steven Karafyllakis

I'll second Shilesh's vote for the William turner, particularly if 
you want warm tone. But there are lots of others: Epson's Radiant 
White Watercolor prints quite well and is cheaper, good intermediate 
step, and available at CompUsa. Also, Get a sample-pack from Hawk 
Mountain Papers, a couple of those do very well also. If you haven't 
found it already, check Clayton Jones' paper comparison chart, it 
might be useful:
