gotta get started on my tarot workbook someday. and i've got a block of watercolor paper arriving today. actual watercolor paper. i've been having a really hard time with basic techniques, and i'm hoping using paper intended for use with watercolor might help, haha. we'll see. maybe i'm just bad.
the paper arrived, and it does seem like it's easier to do some things. like, graded washes were really difficult on my old paper, and while it's still hard, it's significantly easier. i want to try working on water control again. on my old paper i had a VERY difficult time with this; i think it just didn't really absorb water well? so i could get really thick consistencies or really watery ones, but anywhere in between was tough. i'll give it a try.
