Charcoal Figure Studies on Large Paper by Diana Moses Botkin

These two sketches were drawn on large sheets of Fabriano paper.

I thought the one on the brown paper turned out especially nice. That is, until I sprayed it with fixative.

Now it has a mottled look from the spray. The drawing on the grey paper is fine, and I'm not sure why the spray shows up that way on the brown paper. Although some might think the effect of the spray is sort of interesting, I don't think I'll order any more of that brown Fabriano.
