Watercolor!

"Ilia, do we paint light to dark or dark to light?" "Yes, that's the question."

Caran d'Ache Aquarelle Pencils on Ampersand Aquaboard, 5 x 7

Just tried using the Ampersand Aquaboard for the first time. It is a lovely surface but the painting didn't come out as well as I wished. I had forgotten the different rules of water colors and how forgiving and "squishy" oil is. Anyway, first shot on the Aquaboard and first time with a "real" watercolor in quite a while. I think I won't give up yet!
