Watercolour on canvas projects

Watercolour on canvas projects.  

More fun with canvas, this time using the new 

watercolour ground by Daniel Smith to prepare the surface for watercolours.

I tested it out and found that, unlike Absorbent Ground by Golden, the paints do not become dulled by being absorbed into the canvas too much. 

And look at the beautiful wet-in-wet techniques you can achieve now!

I added fluid acrylic to some of these projects, 

and the spots of gold are Iridescent Sunstone watercolour paint by Daniel Smith

as a reminder for me to fix it!

The results of experimenting with different mediums on canvas - these simple designs are
works in progress.  Some may never be finished, others might make it off the shelf someday!

I have a tendency to doodle.  

a lot.

So you can imagine what happened when I bought a button maker...

The fun of doodling within a constrained size (1") and playing with ink and coloured pencils!
