I like doing full images more than a hundred…
THAT’S what I learned from #oneweek100people.
I did this from a picture of Mitchell laying on a fully re-tied spring set.
I’m happy with the way it turned out, and wish our camera had not gone out on us
(buying a new one) as this one is a bit so-so on color… the colors are quite nice.
I still hate the Fabriano A4 Watercolor journal, and am sorry I did this nice sketch in it.
The paper hates watercolors… seriously. I made it look like the splotchiness was intentional, but this should not have done that and it is all about the worst-paper-ever.
I will finish it with sketches without watercolors.

I agree, full images are much more fun. I wouldn’t know the paper is bad – you made it work – and I like the scene you’ve done.

I think the Fabraino journals here must be different than overseas. The paper lifts and doesn’t take watercolors well, unfortunately. I complained to Fabraino and they weregracious and sent me more journals, but they are all the same.
