Re: Advice please
Raquel's Eco-House solvent is the same solvent that I used on the background of my glass and lemons piece. I found it quite good, and very inocuous in smell. It worked very well. Hadn't realized it was Canadian, but it is available in Dick Blick stores and the catalog as well as their own site. I would use it again and recommend it to anyone in the Americas as being a little more easy to get than the Zets-it is.

Re: Advice please
Yeah! The Eco-House solvent is not bad at all... Hic!

I was wondering... My drawing board is almost vertical, to save me from neck (and resulting headaches) tension. As a result, I don't put much pressure with my hand on the board. Would that be something for others to try? I wouldn't be doing any drawing if I had to bend over as I have seen Maggie do at her show... I have an office chair, sit up straight, tuck my legs underneath the board support, and work with my back straight. My arms are strengthening slowly, LOL...
