[QUOTE="sabre123, post: 1218042, member: 8258"]Hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like it's done on a hot-pressed surface that doesn't have a lot of 'tooth.' This paper is even less forgiving than a cold-pressed sheet, in terms of applying transparent pigment. The acid staining is likely influencing the color and darkness of the transparent washes, but the light blue strokes in the sky looks to be opaque white mixed with the blue. This could explain why those areas are brighter and a bit discordant with the rest of the piece. Sky may look a bit messy, but this wasn't done by some weekend hack, IMO.[/QUOTE]
