Decided to try my hand at drawing/watercoloring some leaves. I've only ever watercolored on actual watercolor paper but this time I painted directly into my journal. A thick layer of GOLDEN Absorbent Ground allows your watercolors to soak into regular or gessoed paper. Cool!
Very different from painting on watercolor paper but was a fun experience. The ground gave a fun texture that wouldn't have been there otherwise.

Oooh! So pretty! I can see so much texture and you did a great job with the shading. I'm off to Blick tomorrow, and I think some of that absorbent ground medium will be finding it's way to my house!
WOW! Absolutely gorgeous! Love it!
