Tonight finds me painting on a watercolor postcard for the Urban Sketchers KC postcard challenge. Well, it has been a challenge! I purchased postcards, not realizing that I don't like painting on 140 lb cold pressed paper, unlike most watercolorists. The other day I was not happy with my watercolors on this paper. So tonight, I grabbed my acrylics instead. Well, I prefer masonite for my acrylics. So I then grabbed my closest fountain pen and was surprised to find purple ink in it! Lol! It was actually perfect for the orange background, but ink and acrylic? That's a new one! Maybe tomorrow I'll go with straight ink for the challenge. There has got to be a medium that I actually like this paper for! Painting number 2996 in 2996 days.
