I've been so heavy into the oils lately, I've decided to take a little break with my watercolors. I have a new little plein air pan set, and I used them for the first time today. The colors are pretty opaque, which I am totally not used to. I use all transparent Daniel Smith colors, which mingle in a completely different way than opaques. It will also be fun to see how will I can adapt to the 140 lb cold pressed, spiral watercolor journal. That paper is a far cry from the rough, 300 lb paper block that I adore! I used my new 300 lb block today, and oh! How I love that paper! I sure missed it when I ran out. Painting number 1335 in 1335 days :)
