Watercolor is a natural for rendering atmospheric interpretation. Especially wonderful are the luminous washes on absorbent ground painted over gesso on hard board (Masonite). As I apply the paint I see the puddles of color flow over the slight irregularities of my hand painted surface. Picking up the box I tilt it to make the color spread. Working sensitive changes of light and dark on my hand made surface is a real joy. This box is 7" x 5" x 1 5/8", a size that is in a good ratio for the subtle changes of my medium. The watercolor is made permanent with a matt UV protecting varnish.
