\nHello Friends,<\/div>\n
\n
\nI am back with my experiments with CrafTangles water colour paper<\/a>. It is 300 gsm, thick and heavily textured paper. Honestly, when I started, I wasn\u2019t sure what to do with it as I am more comfortable with smoother papers. As a cardmaker, I need smoother paper to capture details of stamps and coloring small images are easier if there is not much of a texture. So I experimented with more of loose water colours on it and to my surprise, it turned out pretty good!<\/div>\n

\nThe flower is painted using Craftangles liquid water colors<\/a> . I learnt that you need lots of liquid in your brush to glide it smoothly on heavy texture. Paper stay wet for a while so you have a small window to drop new colors for wet on wet blending. Please check the close up to see the details. Even a solid color patch shows lots of variation as the pigment seeps deeper into the fibers of rough paper. Their incredible absorbency can deliver some amazing washes and effects for your final piece. It is also the most absorbent and allows pigments to settle into its deeper valleys. It is good to achieve  a textured look without fine details.<\/div>\n

\nI have a tiny video on how i paint loose flowers. Unfortunately, I
\nmisplaced the one I am painting in the video but you will have idea on how the
\ncolors and brush move on rough paper.<\/span><\/div>\n
