My Hiking Boots" Lanaquarelle block, coldpress 140 lb. 14"x20".

I should have known the importance of watercolour paper, this block gave me such a hard time, I am used to working wet-on-wet on either Saunders or Arches to create a soft edge, but this paper did not allow me and it wasn't forgiving at all. Basically the paint just sat there and did not mingle or mix well with each other. Aaaaahhhh. It was frustrating. I am going to experiment with this paper to figure out its characteristics.

Anyway, I still had fun with it, especially there is a story behind these boots.
