hi andrew,i only blend parts of my drawings occasionally otherwise there is no blending its all in the layering and pencil pressure.i like to use a blender when working with water and drawing snow but thats about the extent of it.i use arches HP watercolour paper which i immerse in water and stretch onto my drawing board and dry prior to use this gives a nice slight tooth to work with.i dont like smooth papers and i dont like roughish cartridge type papers.hot pressed watercolour paper is a nice surface to work on.
thankyou roger,you hit the nail on the head there.the image was based on a crisp,still autumn's day on the estuary here in warsash,uk with just the lone egret paddling in the shallows

Very nice! It looks like a photograph, but still retains the painterly quality I love. Congrats on another masterpiece!
The water looks great
many thanks to all for commenting and karen i'm loving the fact that you think it looks 'painterly',thats made my day:-)
Do you blend each layer of your drawing? do you like lots of texture on your paper or no texture?
