Trying Different Watercolour Papers

 

6" x 9", Watercolour

Canson XL Watercolour Paper

I usually draw and paint on mixed media paper - I like the smooth surface for drawing on.  For framing, though, I need something a little heavier, so I've been trying different papers.  I did this on the wrong side of the paper because it is actually a little smoother.  It was fine to draw on.

Bottlebrush

 

 The bottlebrush bush or tree, native to Australia, is a new flower to me.  We're in Fabulous Flat Brush Watercolour 3 now, and still learning new things!

Going a Bit Larger

 

My husband wants some trucks to frame, so I'm experimenting with a larger format.  This sketch is 7" x 10".

Trucks of All Sorts

 

They come in different shapes and sizes, but they're all a bit wonky.

Keep on Truckin'

 

Different Colours

 

Yesterday I mentioned that learning from my mistakes was something that keeps me drawing.  There were so many changes that I wanted to make on the drawing I posted yesterday, that I drew the same truck again the next day.   I changed the colours too, just because I can!
