The dry and brown winter Northern Colorado landscape gave way to a inner need for some color. Again, I used watercolor on canvas board. I am really enjoying this, and may actually try a large canvas in the near future with watercolor. I had been using small canvas boards because I wasn't sure of the outcome and vibrancy of the color. I think a larger size of 20/30 or so is in the near future though.
I am also thinking of varnishing these works to preserve them, also it will cause the colors to become more rich. Ive never varnished a watercolor painting though, so if you have any knowledge on this, please let me know. I sprayed fixative on them, and the next step is the varnish(I think?!?)... i just hope the colors dont run... Any experiance with this, email me.
