Manor Farm


The last of this week's experiments with watercolors and acrylics on paper. As I may have mentioned, I haven't painted on paper is probably six years. I must admit, I don't like it.  Next week I will move to watercolor canvas, which is what I switched to six years ago, at first because it gives the impression of being more durable than paper.  When I switched from watercolors on it to acrylics, I gained the additional advantage of not needing to put the picture behind glass, which some people object to because the reflections hide the picture. I like it because I can make changes and corrections, which you pretty much can't do on paper.
