He's baaaaaaaaaaack, Mr. Cool Water Surfer Dude, a watercolor on matboard work-in-progress on 13x10 support. Today I began adding color first to his bathing trunks, side of surfboard, and head. I never know how a painting will turn out as that's the nature of the fluid medium, always surprising the artist as well as the viewer! I've not painted on matboard without it being gessoed first. With this one I'm thinking of adding pastel or Caran D'Ache watersoluble crayon.
