RE: fabriano artistico EW
Unfortunately, there isn't any fine watercolor paper - except for the Fabriano line - in Istanbul, only Canson Montval (which is OK for Cyanotype and Vandyke, but there isn't any HP version - only CP and rough) and Bockingford (which I don't like at all - only CP and rough again).
