October 23,2010




It is true..I love color. This is a painting (approx.25"x18") on Fredericks watercolor canvas. A friend gave me a large piece and I cut off this bit to try it out. Nice surface, need to staple it to a sturdy board..not gaterboard. Tape and masque stuck but didn't keep the whites..left interesting marks though. I used salt and had to use a palette knife to scrape it off once it had dried. PLastic wrap worked well. And it was easy to paint.

  2. Thanks for describing your process. I have two stretched watercolour canvases - been a bit hesitant as am intimidated by putting watercolour on canvas.
    Seeing how successful you painted on this surface, I will look forward to trying out soon.
    Love your colour by the way!
