[Artists-making-art] Raised line drawing board question

[Jewel]

This is just what I needed to know. Looks like some museum staff here will be using these. How can they acquire one of their own? I have mine to show them what to do but I am not giving it up

I tried a thin stylus and that made a thinner line but still very prominent. It is not an articulate line meaning it is very rippled but you sure can feel it alright!

I don't use it all the time because it is more expensive. I think a ream of that paper is about $25.00 instead of $5.00 for the standard copy paper.  In my classes I think it is more important that students feel free to try lots of techniques without feeling any financial pressure to not mess up.
