Day 25 – #WorldWatercolorMonth

July 26, 2016 Carolina Russo

– Poppy Flowers –
Day #25 World Watercolor Month

This is Day #25/31 of the World Watercolor Month today I wanted to paint my watercolor on “Tomoe River” Paper a lightweight and ultra smooth paper from Japan. This is a very light weight paper only 52 gsm nothing like watercolor paper, it is so thin that is almost see through. This is a writers paper perfect for fountains pens and any kind of pens and pencils also markers because it doesn’t bleed through. The paper also holds beautifully light washes of watercolor. If you are familiar with the “Hobonichi Techo Planner” from Japan then you know that the amazing trendy planner that has followers all over the world is made out of this paper and is often used like an illustrated planner more like a sketchbook to illustrate the daily life! I love how the watercolor move freely and blend on the smooth magic thin paper. I painted these Poppy flowers straight with the watercolors without even trace them before. I also love the way the purple shadow turned out I outlined with the black ink pen but I wish I took a before picture it was beautiful also without the outline. I hope that you enjoyed my Day#25 in few hours I will post Day #26! ❤

Details about my watercolor:

watercolor outlined with black pen. I used French Artists Watercolors Sennelier l’Aguarelle 12 demi-godets half-pans travel metal box and Pigma Micron Black ink #005 pen. Painted over Tomoe River light weight ultra smooth paper 52 gsm.
