I had drawn some cone flowers the other day, using watercolor paints and oil pastels. My sister loved it and asked me to do another, for her, much larger. This one is only 6" x9".
Well, I've been out of watercolor paper for a few weeks, using multimedia instead. It worked well enough for sketchy stuff and quick washes. For the blog and class I cut it into small pieces. The piece my sister asked for is 18"x24". I had some that size but it's made for acrylic. I figured I'd try it. Maybe I could get something interesting out of it. Ouch. It buckled, dripped, stained. You name it. It made the brush drag and gave me a neck ache. So I grabbed some oil pastel to see what I could do. Blech. Better look for the Michael's coupon. I hope paper is on sale.

these are wonderful. I love the second one in particular. the intensity of the first flower and then the lightness of the other two. There are two different feelings - in the first flower and then in the other two. I love seeing that.
