after my experiments in the solomons I'm keen to master the watercolor wash and getting the right paper was part of that so I've been experimenting. I loved a photo I was sent to sketch by paula some time ago and thought the transparent top over a healthy skin tone would be a perfect test. so one with a very diluted scarlet... let it dry and then add a little orche and violet and .... buggar its gone all blotchy...
Paula a bit blotchy
it seems the paint or my paintbrush must have a bit of lacquer or something waterproof in them. take about back to the drawing board

the problem is actually in the paper, apparently it was a water soluable filling that dries a little waterproof, and it was dissolved but the first wet wash
