I decided to experiment with a new surface today, Fredrix Watercolor Canvas Board. I have done a couple watercolors on high plate illustration board over the years so thought this would be similar. It is is some ways but there is a strange "absorption" quality to this canvas that is somewhat hard to control The advantage of these smooth surfaces is that the paint sits on top and you can move it around freely but I found it strangely hard to get the paint to "settle" down once I reconstituted it. One try is certainly not the final word but I am not happy with some aspects of this painting so I may try to go over it with Acrylic and see if I can produce an image I am more pleased with. Stay tuned.
