The past week I've been doing some watercolor paintings and since I'd bought some new watercolor paper a little while back, I thought I'd try both 100% kinds I had to compare. And even though both are pricy, one lives up to my standards and is worth the investment and the other is not. Check out the video to see which is which before you spend your money.

The inspiration for the paintings from this video:
The woman's face is the technique I teach in my online course "The Lady in Watercolour and Mixed Media":

The frameless comic painting "hiStory" was inspired by:
- the artwork of Alison O'Donoghue:
aliorange.com
- the online comics course Storytelling Flow at SAW by Tom Hart learn.sawcomics.org/collections
