I saw some pictures of my friend in watercolor and I want to painting watercolor too.

oil painting you need to know how to put the oil paint because you can’t put a lot of oil, it has oil so you need to know if you need to put more or not and when you compare the techniques you see for example the oil painting you can start and continue tomorrow or 2 days later because it doesn’t dry quickly but another technique like water color you need immediately.

It is like acrylic if you need to do something you can put over it another layer but in water color it is different. If you put something over you don’t know how you repair that.

The less is more deep

it depends how much water you put.

I know many different paper in different shops and now some of them are more good than others but I don’t remember where I bought them.

maybe the most good paper.. but I don’t know how they know which paper is better than other.

I go to the shop and I want to buy really good paper, very resistant to water but they say this one.
When I try it I say no.. I felt cheated .
