Doreen,

You simply said that the paper has to hold up to being wet. It was, unfortunately, unclear after rereading your post that you meant specically that the Wallis paper was the only paper to use for turpentine and turpenoid washes. My post was adressed to anyone who reads this thread. I have seen too many people use the turpentine wash method, even fellow professors at the Rhode Island School of Design where I taught. I was passing on information to others who come to this forum to learn proper methods. I'm sorry if it seemed to you that I misread your post. I have never heard of Mr. Handell or his book. Can you tell me where I can find it. I always enjoy learning more about my craft.
