So, my idea was to marry QoR Watercolors to a substrate primed with Golden Artist’s Absorbent Ground. The idea seemed simple enough, but during the last phase (applying the QoR Watercolors), the results seemed more like using Yupo paper. My desired working qualities would have been more like D’ Arch Watercolor CP or Rough. The Yupo like working qualities were unfortunate. Blooming and irregular glazes and washes were undesirable. In other words, the results were unpredictable, which is contrary to my imagined conclusion.
I feel that at his time the best I can do is to reapply my talents with oils. I’ve found repeatable success with my ventures into oil paint.
