Watercolor Gift

This is my first attempt at painting on the watercolor canvas sheets. I only used my watercolor pencils.

The sheet did not buckle anywhere near what I was expecting. The first layer I laid down using the watercolor pencils, I used a lot of water (I thought anyway) using a mop brush and it did not run & scatter like paper does … I liked that. The colors were darker than usual and I liked that also. I put the tree on next - I let it dry then lifted some color out here & there on the tree. I also put in the grass … the bottom left corner grass is not good - I did that on purpose .. I want to play with this some to see if I can fix it to make it better. Next I will be putting in some leaves on the tree … seeing if I can fix the grass into something I like or not .. it will be fun. According to Tom Lynch - we don’t ever have to throw one of these away because we do not like how it turned it - he said he has reworked on these up to 30 times. We’ll see … once I get to 20, I will let you know

I give the watercolor canvas sheets a 10 on a scale of 1-10. I am still not giving up paper painting at all though … both have their place in my watercolor painting … I want a roll of the watercolor canvas - I have a mural project in mind that I would rather use watercolors than oils - that is the main reason I decided now was the time to try the watercolor canvas. The texture of watercolor paper is different than canvas of course so I can do different things with each. I’m looking forward to it. I enjoyed using it and am looking forward to getting better at using it … I hope you enjoy it too!
