This one is from last night – painted on this awful cheap paper that I should only use for rough sketches. I just had a craving for painting something quick in an autumn mood and only had this 50 cent paper available. The difference to a good paper is that it takes a lot of effort to get some color saturation remaining after drying. The paper may be cheap but you need double the paints to get some contrasts.

Dies hier ist von letzter Nacht – gemalt auf diesem furchtbaren Billig-Papier, dass ich eigentlich nur für großformatige Skizzen verwenden sollte. Ich hatte einfach das Bedürfnis, etwas schnelles in einer Herbst-Laune zu malen und hatte nur noch dieses 50 Cent Papier zur Verfügung. Der Unterschied zu einem guten Papier besteht darin, dass es einen Heiden-Aufwand macht, eine gewisse Farbsättigung nach dem Trocknen der Farbe zu erreichen. Das Papier mag billig sein, dafür braucht man aber mindestens die doppelte Menge an Farbe, um ein paar Kontraste aufs Blatt zu bringen.
Beautiful!
