There is a special watercolour canvas you can buy these days in the States…. I haven’t tried it, but I think you seal it with a special product from the same manufacturer...But I’m sure you know this already. <BR/>Did you have many problems with the watercolour not adhering to the acrylic gesso on the canvas? <BR/>You are such a brave soul with a purist heart.Maggie Lathamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10419979394385797451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487145712562140978.post-47048655580228805022008-12-30T21:50:00.000+02:002008-12-30T21:50:00.000+02:00Hi Mineke z,thank you so much for stopping by,re watercolor on canvas,it is an experience which I can definetely recommend!Nusret Topuzoğluhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08958398753976385635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487145712562140978.post-29816323226528982282008-12-30T07:36:00.000+02:002008-12-30T07:36:00.000+02:00I agree about not being a purist - as you've proved abundantly here, with these lovely watercolors.
