Attention: Chris Stubbs Workshop Attendees

By Annual Workshop, Workshops

Hello IWS Membership—specifically those who attended the Chris Stubbs workshop at the Riverside Hotel in June:

I gave several of you hot-pressed and cold-pressed pages from two blocks of watercolor paper generously donated to us by Michael Marchetta of Jerry’s Artarama.

I asked that those of you to whom I gave the paper relate back to me how you rate the quality of the paper.

If you have used the paper, I’d appreciate hearing how you liked it so I can report back to Michael.  If you have not yet used it, no worries, but when you do I’d like to hear about it.

Our responses to Michael and Jerry’s Artarama will influence his/their interest in working with our society positively, and his generosity deserves our attention.

Thanks very much, that’s all for now!

Be well and keep those brushes damp,

Scott
