Hopefully there will be, so
These are my favourite art papers;
I use BFK Rives for almost all my book making. When I do copper plate I use BFK Rives, but lately I've been using solarplate as my intaglio medium, so I've been using some japanese hand made papers from the etching supplies store here. One of them has what looks like bits of celulose added to give it a sparkly speckled effect, really beautiful.
My visual diarys are either Hahnemuhle or Fabriano, I switch between these two;
the Fabriano are really beautiful for tonal drawings because of the texture, but the Hahnemuhle is probably better when I'm sketching up ideas. The Hahnemuhle books have held up better too.
When I draw I use a CP paper, not a fan of HP and anything rough like the ARCHES watercolour 400 to 800 R is beautiful, but doesnt suit my style.
I really am an art nerd, and I spend a lot on good papers, but there is nothing like working with beautiful cotton rag, which has been made the same way for a quarter of a millenium.
