Kitty,

I actually have a piece of your paper to try. I was going to experiment with ChromaColour, a UK product. It is an acrylic based watercolor and according to the manufacturer and an English materials book, it is water and fade proof.

I remember talking to the Createx people ( in Connecticut) and they were unsure about it (Createx) being waterproof or able to withstand rubbing. Maybe you should tell them it does. However they think you are a color genius!

That is the reason I ferreted out CromaColor to acheive the same result.

Actuall I plan to airbrush it on the paper sample to see what happens. I LOVE to work large and your paper would be great if my experiment works.

However, right now I am in the middle of a large oil and the experiment will have to wait.

Thanks for the offer.
