What to do with a 19 by 24 pad - typhoneus - 01-04-2021
Got one for 30 bucks on Jeff Bezo's fancy flea market and now I'm waiting for creativity to strike me and/or nicfits.
Any ideas?

Do you mean a paper pad? Depending on what type of paper it is you could try doing some painting on it?
Or you could try your hand at some charcoal art? I love Steve Carpenter's charcoals: https://www.stevecarpenterartcenter.com/video/charcoal-portrait-and-figure-drawing-instructional-demo-video/

Ah, sorry. It's a paper pad with bristol paper. I've never painted on bristol paper before but a charcoal study sounds nice. Steven Carpenter's studies are gorgeous.

I would do graphite drawing with it. Probably cut it in half or in quarters.
Bristol paper is really smooth, and it isn't good for charcoal in my opinion. Charcoal needs a rougher paper with more tooth to catch the medium and make it stick to it.

Oh thanks! I've never worked with bristol paper before, so I appreciate the advice.
