Re: fabriano artistico EW
Thanks, will try to acidify soon, with hydrochloric acid -> I once coated traditional white with oxalic acid rich ferric oxalate (there was 1 part oxalic acid per 2 parts ferric oxalate in the solution) and it got pretty gritty. Maybe EW is different than the traditional white I got? Unfortunately the distributor doesn't stock EW, perhaps painters around here don't like the EW... :) Scattering? Try 1+1 diluted hydrocote polyshield clear gloss wood finish (if you don't mind a little glossy print) and you'll be surprised!
