I made my second set of papers that was slightly off white for watercolour painting. The first time Amy made the pulp but this time I learnt a bit more about how to get the best consistency for making paper. So I can understand and help with the whole process.

On Friday I spent the afternoon making paper with Amy Pieterse from Fine Art and I really enjoyed it. We used denim jeans to make the pulp, which is why the paper came out blue which is stunning but not practical to paint on. This was a test as I want to make white cotton paper to use for my watercolour painting.
Here is a link to a compilation video of Amy teaching me the papermaking process: https://youtu.be/kNn7og5fnE8
