Strathmore Mixed Media paper?

[Jurien72]

Hey everyone! I stopped by Hobby Lobby today, and picked up a pack of Mixed Media paper. Is this stuff good or at least OK for airbrushing? I looked at an entire aisle of paper- it made my head spin!

You can airbrush on anything that stands still. The more absorbent the surface the less you will be able to erase/scratch. The less absorbent the easier you can erase/scratch
It's a matter of finding the right surface for the expected end result.

I know absolutely nothing about this erasing/scratching stuff. I think I first need to learn how to put paint on the paper before I worry about trying to remove it again!

Absorbent paper has its advantages - less spidering

Such a limited approach...

You can airbrush moving stuff but you'll need a longer hose and risk getting strangled or tripped up in the process

I'm sure there must be a way... you could hook your AB up to a scuba tank on your back and paint while moving
