more wip


Put the painting down to flatten the piece. It helps to do this every now and then if the paper starts to buckle from the washes. It's just nicer to work on a flat surface. So I switched it up today and spent time fixing up this final drawing for another piece. Feels good to take a break from the other piece for a day and to work on something new. But tomorrow I paint.

I thought that you liked to work on hot press water color paper.
What kind of paper is this?
What do you prefer now?

This is Hot Press WC paper. 300lb Arches. Although it's a heavy stock of paper it still warps when you apply the washes. I have two new pieces on paper. The other one with the branches was being flattened while I was finishing up the drawing on this piece.

I like some of what's going on here now. But I'm sure it will continue to change before it's all said and done. Hopefully for the better.
