-or - should I just title this "How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Piece of Watercolor Paper!"? It just looks dull, muddy, old, tired, dead. NOT what I had in mind when I started. I'm thinking of using some acrylics to spiff it up - if that is possible!
TIP! When I tape my paintings down, after I wet the paper and pour the paint, I will leave it sit overnight. All of those hills and valleys that occur when the water is applied to the paper will dry and smooth away overnight. In effect I am stretching my paper, but I’ve also got some paint down – it’s a “two-fer”!
