When the Rep from Graphix came out to demonstrate products a couple weeks ago, we had a LOT of fun learning about the Wet Dura-Lar and Matte Dura-Lar
Wet Dura-Lar
This paper LOOKS like Acetate but is SO MUCH BETTER!!
You can use markers or watercolors or pens... it all dries on the Wet Dura-Lar!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!
The Rep showed us what you can do with overlays... in the pictures below, look how he used 2 pieces of Wet Dura-Lar to add color or add shadow... and when the pieces are overlaid they create a stunning flower bouquet!!
(There is a piece of plain, white paper placed behind the Wet Dura-Lar so you can see the vibrant colors)

Check out this idea where he created a beautiful country side!! Again, he used 2 pieces of Wet Dura-Lar AND a piece of white card stock.
He watercolored a quick country side, THEN he used one piece of Wet Dura-Lar to add richer colors and the other piece of Wet Dura-Lar to add the lines

What a clever idea!!!
Matte Dura-Lar
Matte Dura-Lar is a synthetic paper that is SO SMOOTH!!!! It LOOKS like vellum.. but is SO MUCH BETTER!!
The Rep drew a picture of his daughter.. the colored pencils he used just glide across the surface!!
I love how you can really create beautful shadow effects.. You can color on the back AND front of the Matte Dura-Lar so you can create light and dark tones of the same colors!! (Like the Purple that you see below, notice how the colors are muted)

Some people have been looking for carbon-transfer paper.. and although we DON'T carry THAT product.. you can achieve the same idea with Matte Dura-Lar!
-Use a pencil (or graphite) to scribble on the backside of a piece of Matte Dura-Lar
-Place a piece of white paper or white card stock down on your desk and overlay the piece of Matte Dura-Lar onto the paper GRAPHITE SIDE DOWN
-Use a pen to draw your image, making sure that the graphite/pencil scribble is underneath your design so that the image will fully transfer
-Remove the Matte Dura-Lar and see your image transferred onto your paper!!
