The soft ivory color of the paper is very nice. It does require a gentle hand, fibers beginning to flake with heavy burnishing. (Maybe that’s why it’s called “Aqua” — is it meant for paint?)

Isn’t it odd that perpendicular “bone” or “Tendon” that connects the flower. So wonderful to study up close for extended periods of time. These drawings take forever 🙂

Then I turned the flower over and saw the magic!
