WC Paper Test

Did this as an experiment to compare two kinds of WC paper, using the same colors on both sides, obviously. To my surprise they ended up looking much the same! So I guess it's more to do with the skill of the painter than the quality of the paper, which is bad news to me, heh.

LEFT = cold pressed 90 lb "Good" paper (seriously, that's what the label says, "200 series Good")
RIGHT = student grade paper AKA cheap stuff. It's not that it's terrible, it's just not as versatile as the better quality paper. And you have to be careful how wet you get it, it's pretty thin.
And if you look closely at the patches of blue sky you can see the different textures of the two papers.
The student grade is by Pacon, and the 90 pounder is by Strathmore.
