Weeping Willow

Little girl painted with gouache on this lovely grey handmade paper I picked up in Vancouver, BC last weekend while on our little anniversary trip!

Canal Paper is made by the Papeterie Saint-Armand in Montreal all by hand, and I found this at a little shop on Granville Island: Paper-Ya. Pretty much one of the most amazing little paper/sketchbook/nicknack/supply store I’ve ever stepped into, I am quite impressed I managed to tear myself away with only these two little stacks of paper.

So this is what I did with sheet #1. I love how soft and textured it is, with a deckled edge and subtle color variation. Onto the next!!
