Painting: Step 2

After the initial drawing and first thin wash of color,

I begin to add the darker values and brighter colors.

I use Arches 90 lb hot press watercolor paper and mount it on Art Board.

If I don't first mount the paper, I have to stretch it while I paint in order to keep it from getting wrinkled.

Mounting is much easier!
