Didn't realize this paper didn't absorb water. Was really annoyed by it at first, till I found out how well it works with just pure (no water added) watercolor. You can mix the color smoothly on the paper. Almost like painting with oil.

Friday Night Portraits
Watercolor portraits done at Literary Cafe in the past couple of months.
One thing neat about watercolor pencils, they are great for sketching when you plan to use watercolor later. Regular lead pencil lines don't dissolve with water and tend to linger. Watercolor pencil sketch lines can be blended with the watercolors later.
Also, for more precision, Le Pen is great, since their ink is water soluble. (Though avoid using colors that may muddy up your painting later)

This one turns out to be quite a disaster, first the color, then the proportion. Live and learn...

Saturday Figure Drawing - Eric
Need to watch the head size next time. It's always something that's out of proportion. Oh well, live and learn.
Watercolor, 2 sessions at 4hr/session.
