The paper in the book doesn't agree at all with my colors. The felt tipped pens bleed through (can you hear the perfectionist in my crying about this? *giggle*) and it was REALLY hard to create the light washed watercolor background that I had in my mind. As soon as I put the tip of the brush to the paper it said schloooorp and all the water and paint got sucked in to the paper. *arghhhhh* *frustration*
On the other hand, without this problem I would never had invented the "toilet paper painting technique". LOL And without this problem I wouldn't feel tempted to bring out my proper watercolor paper to be able to better carry through my vision. I haven't actually brought it out YET but I'm tempted and I haven't felt tempted to paint with my watercolors for many, many, many years now.
We'll see how this will end. First I need (and WANT) to finish my idea in the journal, I just need the colors to dry completely first before I can continue. Curious? You SHOULD be! LOL
More wreckings!

Oh yeah, everything leaks through! Wait till you drip your tea over it. The 3 pages behind it will have tea as well ;)
*shudder* I can imagine that causing a lot of problems (and possible intersting new things as well)
