Nice For the ones with buff coats, you might want more of a colour contrast John |

And the smaller scale the figures are, the more contrast you want. |

Well I think the proof of concept is good for this. I'll refine the drawings further and consider what paper to use for these going forward as the standard printer papers does not like water. My painting here is really rough and sloppy, but it gives and idea of what things can look like

Pete, buy some watercolour A4 pads from the art shop, tell them what you are trying to do. Make sure you get all the glue off the edge of the paper.
You want a smooth hot press paper about 90 gsm.
If you can feed the paper straight through your print you could go for 120 gsm.
The 90gsm should work well because you are only painting a small area of the paper. |

Cheers Les – that's a great idea. |
