sketchbook review | clairefontaine mix media

expectations:

smooth, at least compared to my other sketchpads (whatever cheap stuff i find & my favorite czech paper, design of art)

white, not the typical yellowish tint

can take watercolor without curling up on itself like a scared isopod (250g/m2), color somewhat liftable

pen-friendly

markers don't bleed through instantly

reality:

relatively smooth, random soft texture, very white

takes watercolor well, minimal warping (not taped) after moderate water usage

cheap pen nib doesn't get stuck on texture, doesn't collect fibers. had to actually try to get nastier lines

markers not yet tested

it cost me like 3 czk ($0.13) per page on sale, ~3.8 czk ($0.16) pp normally!

🗒️✏️

conclusion: no rating yet, needs more techniques to appreciate&assess this "multi-techniques" paper; honestly i just want to show you this thing 🍂❄️

study of a piece by wang yuyuan:

it is probably just (diluted) (sepia) ink; i used watercolor (umber, mars brown) & black drawing ink; added more texture by lifting watercolor with crumpled tissue & wet some of the ink

Went to look up the current status of a bridge Isabella Bird took a photo of in the late 19th century, and the Wikipedia photo is of very nearly the same view.

It's a nine-turn bridge in the Yu Garden in Shanghai.

A 7-Day Journey through Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai

Itinerary Overview

• Day 1-2: Suzhou

• Day 3-4: Hangzhou

• Day 5-7: Shanghai

Day 1-2: Suzhou – Classical Gardens and Water Town Charm

• Humble Administrator’s Garden: Explore this serene garden and enjoy traditional snacks at nearby tea houses. Suzhou-style desserts like osmanthus cakes and plum cakes pair well with green tea. This iconic garden, known for its poetic design and meticulous layout, is the largest in Suzhou and features classic Jiangnan landscaping. Stroll through pavilions, ponds, and stone bridges surrounded by lush greenery, giving you a sense of traditional Chinese aesthetics and harmony with nature.

• Suzhou Museum: Beyond its unique architectural design by I. M. Pei, the museum houses ancient artifacts, ceramics, calligraphy, and paintings that showcase Suzhou’s rich history and culture. Each exhibit tells a story of China’s artistic heritage, making it a must-visit for history lovers. After exploring the exhibits, head to the nearby area to try Suzhou-style mooncakes, a savory treat with pork filling.

• Pingjiang Road: This ancient canal-side street exudes old Suzhou charm, with well-preserved architecture, traditional teahouses, and local shops. You can try Suzhou-style pastries like plum cake or enjoy the scenery along the canal, where boats quietly glide by. This ancient street is packed with food stalls selling Suzhou’s famous crab roe soup dumplings and pan-fried dumplings.

• Tongli Ancient Town: A quintessential Jiangnan water town, Tongli offers winding canals, ancient stone bridges, and traditional Ming and Qing dynasty residences. Highlights include the Retreat & Reflection Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can experience serene classical architecture and landscaping. Beyond its picturesque canals, Tongli offers Jiangnan classics like sweet and sour Mandarin fish and braised pork belly served in quaint riverside restaurants.

Day 3-4: Hangzhou – Natural Scenery and Cultural Heritage

• West Lake Boat Tour: Take a leisurely boat ride to appreciate the lake’s famous sites, like Leifeng Pagoda, which is linked to romantic Chinese legends, and Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, where floating pagodas create a mesmerizing reflection. West Lake is known for its idyllic beauty, with willow-lined shores, lotus ponds, and distant mountains. After a boat ride, enjoy a lakeside meal with Hangzhou specialties like Dongpo pork (a tender, slow-braised pork belly named after poet Su Dongpo) and West Lake Vinegar Fish, a sweet and tangy fish dish often made with carp from the lake.

• Lingyin Temple: This sacred Buddhist site, surrounded by lush forests and rocky outcroppings, is one of the oldest and most significant temples in China. As you explore the temple, admire the intricate Buddhist carvings on Feilai Peak and immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere. Set in lush forested hills, this ancient Buddhist temple is both a place of worship and a scenic retreat. Nearby, sample vegetarian temple dishes such as Buddha’s Delight with tofu and bamboo shoots.

• Longjing Tea Plantation: Visit the tranquil tea fields of Longjing Village, where China’s famed Dragon Well tea is produced. Participate in a tea-picking experience, learn about the tea-making process, and sample the fresh green tea, renowned for its delicate aroma and refreshing taste. Visit Dragon Well’s tea fields to experience tea-picking and sample Longjing shrimp, a light dish flavored with tea leaves, at a local restaurant overlooking the fields.

Day 5-7: Shanghai – Modern Metropolis and Cultural Fusion

• The Bund: Stroll along the Bund’s waterfront for views of Shanghai’s historic colonial buildings and modern skyline. Dine at a nearby restaurant and try Shanghai-style braised pork (hong shao rou), paired with steamed buns.

• Yu Garden: This Ming Dynasty garden is an oasis in the city with intricate rock formations and koi ponds. At the adjacent Yuyuan Bazaar, enjoy soup dumplings (xiao long bao) and lotus root in osmanthus syrup.

• Lujiazui Financial District: Shanghai’s financial hub, home to towering skyscrapers like Shanghai Tower and the Oriental Pearl. Take in the skyline views and try hairy crab (in season) at a high-rise restaurant.

Travel Tips

1. Transportation: Travel between cities by high-speed train. It takes about 2 hours from Suzhou to Hangzhou and 1 hour from Hangzhou to Shanghai.

2. Accommodation: In Suzhou and Hangzhou, stay in traditional guesthouses for an authentic Jiangnan experience, and in Shanghai, opt for a hotel in the city center.

3. Food: Try local specialties like Suzhou’s Squirrel Fish, Hangzhou’s West Lake Vinegar Fish, and Shanghai’s Xiao Long Bao dumplings.

If airports weren't hell and I could download languages into my brain I'd like to visit Shanghai again, go to that delicious dumpling house tucked in a corner of Yuyuan garden and have red bean paste desserts, and god damn squirrel fish

hello everyone, this is neo and let me introduce my third muse:

okada mayumi

she's an introverted child, that likes to dance, wants to be a better rapper and makes coffee art - she is undecided if she wants to be an idol or if she wants to do something else. a little a hard to approach right now, but will be warmer and friendlier in the future.

i did make a plot page, but it is just basic stuff. all of the things listed there are things i want for her though.

i can be found on twitter & discord ( florali )

HAPPY ROLEPLAYING EVERYONE!
