Now that's one I wouldn't want to try drawing on. <br /><br />Michael's used to sell scraps. I think that I bought that piece for a quarter, thinking that I might try using it for a rug. Never did, but that gives you som idea of the range of finishes that mat board comes in.Caseyminihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622994881661283282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-70139318936436951182014-02-03T12:36:15.213-07:002014-02-03T12:36:15.213-07:00Diane, I got the book on Amazon a few years ago. ...Diane, I got the book on Amazon a few years ago.

Forever 6 sounds good to me, too! :D<br />I am glad to learn that there is a difference in the quality of Illustration Board, I never knew there was.<br />Is there a certain weight that one should look for when purchasing like watercolor paper or is it one kind fits all?<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-75971995800317243442014-02-03T10:57:30.933-07:002014-02-03T10:57:30.933-07:00P.S.

Now I see from the art store ads, it is also recommended for paints and probably has been used that way for many years. Perhaps the board itself has changed from my early painting and drawing days.I'll have to try it as a painting surface for my artwork.<br />PhyllisaPhyllisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946128452419597961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-54891481246453686652014-02-03T10:18:32.319-07:002014-02-03T10:18:32.319-07:00Hi Casey.
