GRAINED PAPERS

For those who cannot draw easily with the pen, there are several kinds of grained papers which render drawings suitable for reproduction The first is a paper with _black lines_ i out to get lights, and strengthening with pen or pencil to get solid blacks On some of these papers black lines are ionally, some in dots, and some with lines of several kinds, one under the other, so that the artist can get the tint required by scraping out Drawings thuscare not to reduce a fine black grain too much or it will become ”spotty” in reproduction

This drawing and the one opposite by Mr Hume Nisbet show the skilful use of paper with vertical and horizontal black lines; also, in the latter drawing, the different qualities of strength in the sky, and the rained paper in pen and ink
