I love painting the bees on my giant cosmos! This flower towers above me - and is loaded with blooms! My paper is a new handmade cotton paper that is less porous than most. It feels more like 140lb cold pressed, so I'm not a fan. I like the way ink behaves on it, so I may reserve this paper for only ink in the future. I am also trying new Sennelier half pan watercolors, and the jury is still out. They feel a bit creamy pulling off the cake, but I was hoping for stronger pigment without layering to get it. It's the first time I've tried this brand, so let the exploration begin! This painting is number 5154 in 5154 days, and is headed to the gallery at Powell Gardens if someone doesn't buy it first!
