This is beautiful! What type of canvas did you use? Was it watercolor or just normal cotton. I can't seem to find watercolor canvases anywhere.
Thanks so much for your praise! months ago, I purchased 6 in a special promotional package at Jerry's Art a rama location in Austin, Texas.
I threw away the packaging so I don't know remember what brand it was, but I'd be willing to bet it was Fredrix - They're the only ones I've seen that makes canvas for watercolor - it comes in sheets ("tablet") form and is hard to handle if it's not on stretcher bars. It's a tricky surface to work on; wet-into-wet acts wierd, & If you glaze, be careful-under layer will lift easily! It's definitely a challenge but once you get used to it, I think you'll like it. I seal the finished painting with 3 coats (dry between coats)of Krylon Matte Acrylic spray. Good luck - send me photos of your work!
