It's an interesting thing when a product I barely liked using all of a sudden becomes a favorite. Watercolor ground is so great for creating texture in paintings and since I've discovered this, I am so excited with all the new possibilities I have. What's also interesting is that I I would not have discovered this had I not decided to experiment with a new way of using this product. For this reason and many others, I believe it's so important to experiment and look for new ways of using our supplies.

Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (***I now have the ability to monetize my site. This means I can include links to the products I use and when you make a purchase using these links, I will get a small commission. You won't pay extra for doing this and you will help me earn a little bit of money along the way, so I can continue doing this work. Please note that I will only ever add links to products that I actually like and use. Thanks in advance!***)
