Watercolor magic

I have fallen in love with the magic and surprises that one get when working with

watercolor.

I use them to create images that I will then scan into my computer and use in my illustrations.

Watercolor can be used in SO many different ways and the special effects come when we stop trying to control the paint and open ourselves to it's desire to spread or mix, or create it's own magic.

Some of you were asking me what type of paint and paper I used for these specifically, so here is what I used:

Paint: Kuretake Gansai Tambi Color Set Japanese Traditional Solid Water Colours for Professional Artists and Crafters

Paper: CANSON Artist Series Montval Watercolor Paper Pad
