On Da Desk

 

I ordered these sample-sized watercolor paper variety packs awhile back from Amazon. The packs included thick, smooth and rough varieties. I was most interested in trying their new black watercolor paper which was supposed to be included, but those were left out for some reason. I was a bit disappointed and I left a review saying so, but I liked the paper so kept them anyway.

Here's what I've been using them for recently.

You need to open online business, those are priceless! I won’t be able to use them -I’d frame them to be able to look at them everyday!

De, thank you!

V, thanks!

Izmom, thanks for the encouragement.

Susan, LOL.

Kat, I was mostly curious how watercolor which is pretty transparent would show up on the black.

Celia, thank you.

Aunty, thank you. I need to use up more of my supplies.

Annie, thanks!

Ok, random question--do you put some kind of sealant or anything on your watercolors after you're done? Maybe it's because I'm using my kid's watercolors, but they run and bleed so easily after they're dry if they get damp again.

(Love your blog, so happy you're still writing regularly :))

Tofugirl, awww, thank you. No, I don't put a sealant, but I do use good-quality watercolor paint and cotton paper. Maybe the paper that you use doesn't absorb the paint well. Nice to hear from you again. Hope you and the family are doing well in this crazy time.

Hi, Jalna: This is your Cali cousin, Lynn. You are soooooo good with your paintings. My water lily flowers came out crummy. Always look forward to "on day desk". Take care. Oops! Now, I don't know how to send this message?!?!

Lynn, LOL. I bet your flowers aren't really "crummy". Thanks for stopping by.
