Took me a while to realise that my paper was making my brush pens fray, then I switched to rhodia. Way happier now 😁

When you recommended these papers in a past video, I went out and got the HP32. However, I find that I just use brush markers directly in my journal, lol! I appreciate you speaking of all the options again. I love your polite way of speaking.

@EnsignInsights 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing that! What kind of journal do you have? Have you noticed any fraying of your pens?

@tcconnection 3 года назад

@@EnsignInsights I haven't noticed any fraying with my Archer and Olive. I've used Tombow Dual Brush pens, Zebra Mildliner brush pens, Michael's Artist Loft Dual-tipped watercolor brush pens, Tombow fudes. I've tried others too, but the tips would be floppy and not write as precise, so I didn't keep using those. The Michael's tips I think I learned from you are better than the Tombow dual tips, but I do like the color selection of the Tombow duals.

@EnsignInsights 3 года назад

Ooh thanks for sharing that! I love Archer and Olive. I have one but I haven’t been using my brush pens in it. I need to try it!

I use a journal for practicing my calligraphy so I can bring it to work and use it on my breaks. I found a journal at Michael’s that has a dot grid, plus has 120gsm paper so it’s pretty smooth. If you go to the store and look at their journals, it’s by Artist’s Lost and it has a red Level 2 label on it.

@@EnsignInsights so good news in case you want to share with your Australian viewers. The equivalent paper here is called HP Colour Copy 120gsm - can be bought at Officeworks (our version of Staples or OfficeMax) in their premium copy paper section and is around $12.50 for 250 sheets.

@godislovedayany5098 3 года назад

Oop I already have my Tombow frayed but not much because I know they fray easily from what I’ve heard so I got Strathmore Bristol paper but it’s not really good to practice it’s more for like you’re finished final work

@chanel113 2 года назад

Is there a rating to tell how smooth a paper is? For example in buying adult colouring books how can you tell how smooth the paper will be?

@EnsignInsights 2 года назад

I have no idea about adult coloring books! I think you’ll just have to feel it for yourself. I will say though, all brush pens will fray eventually. So every once in a while it’s ok to use paper that’s not totally smooth!

What are your thoughts on Hammermill 28lb paper? I find it’s as smooth as HP 32lb just slightly thinner.

@@EnsignInsights Hammermill 28lb Premium Color Copy is the one I am taking about. I actually have a stack of it mixed with HP32 and it’s very hard to tell which is which. The 28lb is slightly less expensive though.

@chanel113 2 года назад

@@EnsignInsights ! I’d like to hear your opinion on the Hammermill Premium Color Copy, and the Hammermill 24lb Laser Paper (also ultra smooth) versus the HP and Rhodia etc. Paper Info: Hammermill Color Copy Paper, 8-1/2" x 11", 28 lb, Ultra Smooth, White, 500 Sheets/Ream Copy paper combines an extra smooth surface and high brightness to produce exceptional color images. This heavyweight sheet was designed to run on small and large offset presses, copiers, laser printers, inkjet printers and fax machines that use plain paper. Super bright photo white delivers excellent image contrast and color reproduction.

Hi I'm from the UK and have been trying to find a smooth printer paper like the HP 32 but can't find any and I'm not too keen on buying lots of smooth notebooks to practice on since it's pricy. Or if I should just use tracing paper (also does the tracing paper matter or is there special smooth types of tracing paper like paper?)

Have you found a good tracing paper that works well? I am also from the UK and only just started Brush Art so would really appreciate your recommendation. Thank you
