Hello! I am new here at DW, so I'll introduced myself with two of my favorite paintings:

Both are gouache & pen on rice paper. They were done at a workshop, but I think they look finished as they are.

Very nice! I especially like the second's use of the pen as an outline method and the contrast of shadow and light on the figure's right side.

How well does rice paper hold up? I've never tried it.

Better than I expected. I used a lot of water that night, and I never felt like I was about to rip it.

If you're going to use rice paper, get the type used for calligraphy and ink paintings.
