Thank you for providing that info!Hello and welcome
As other members said, when it comes to paper is really a matter of choice and medium. Personally, most of the time I use watercolor paper that I cut myself with a paper trimmer, and I also like to round the corners, as @janae said.
I use watercolor paper when I draw and paint in watercolor, acrylics, markers or oil pastels. If I use soft pastels, I use pastel paper, like Canson Mi-Teintes or even sandpaper, that again, I cut myself and then glue the back to sturdier base, like watercolor paper or cardstock. Use what you have, don't overthink it
When it comes to the 4th card for the host, I never tell them which one is for her/him. I just send 4 cards, and they choose the one they want to keep.
Woot! Woot!! Got our first set in yesterday from Peace*Love*Paint. Lovely job and I love how colorful you made my Vulture
I always just assumed that they had dull coloring?

The Walnut Tree, your ATCs are here! Thank you for sending a 4th one!!
Yep, not very much longer. It actually went kind of fast, really.
Remind me of the instructions for the y, z, ? . The third card is a favorite bird we already made and traded?

Two done. I’m so rusty! Haven’t drawn in years.
Van Hasselt’s Sunbird (top), and the Australian Weebill, drawn life size. I’m working with Pigma micron pens and Prismacolor pencils. I’m going to do a bit more to the Weebill, it just needs to rest now.
It’s so nice drawing again, and I love birds, I’m a birder with almost 900 life species. After y, z, how about doing it all over again? Or doing endemic birds.
