Hi Kay, I love your work. I was wondering on your collage do you paint with watercolors on matboard? If so what kind? I have a painting of a dove that I would like to collage,and I was thinking of working directly on the watercolor paper,since it's already painted? I'm not taking a class at the moment so I thought maybe I could ask a pro? thanks and again I love your work.(fun happy colors)
Hi shicat, yes I paint with wc's on matboard but do cover the Crescent partly with either gesso or matte medium. It is acid free. You can work directly on your wc paper.
Thanks for the comments and for stopping by.
