The one I...Richard, toned paper is coloured paper. The one I'm using is Mi-Tientes which is often used for charcoal or pastels. There is a rough, textured side and a smooth side. I prefer the smooth side and that is what I'm using in this piece.<BR/><BR/>The mi-tientes paper has more texture than what I know as Bristol board, which is quite smooth. I'm sure there are different types of it. Illustration board has more texture - the cold press one at least.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-60502692973299562732009-01-23T16:55:00.000-03:302009-01-23T16:55:00.000-03:30i like the highlights. may i ask what exactly tone...i like the highlights. <BR/><BR/>may i ask what exactly toned paper is? i like using bristol board, does tones paper have more/less toothing?journalerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714854822081358245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-2149464623271196352009-01-23T15:17:00.000-03:302009-01-23T15:17:00.000-03:30I'm sure your w/c is lovely, I've seen others you'...I'm sure your w/c is lovely, I've seen others you've done.
