First Watercolor on Yupo Paper

AFTER MY FIRST TRY I TOOK QTIPS AND ERASED THE ORANGE SUNFLOWER BECAUSE IT WAS COMPETING WITH THE CALLA LILY

I FIRST PAINTED THE SUNFLOWER BLUE AND LATER MADE IT PURPLE ANT THICKENED THE PETALS.  THIS IS

RIGHT BEFORE I TRIED TO DO THE BACKGROUND AND ENDED UP PUTTING IT UNDER THE SINK AND WIPING IT ALL OFF.  

I am trying to figure out if I want to change my blog to this "blogger.com".  Right now I am using Word Press but I want to see if there are any advantages in this blog.  So this is my experiment while I am painting my first Yupo watercolor.  First I am going to show the first paintings I did on this one sheet of Yupo 10 x 14 inches.  The idea was to experiment with it and try to paint looser. The reason I put this painting under the faucet was that my cerrulean blue HWC paint was to grainy and it looked like specks of lint all over the background.  The only part I really loved was the calla lily and I managed to splatter water all over it while trying to keep wiping off the background.  AHHHHH!
