New Surrounding!

These past few weeks, I have been so overwhelm and stress out from moving ... I didn't get to paint much at all, and when I try to paint, I have so much in my mind, it's really hard to enjoy the process!! It feels great to be able to sit down and paint again!!

These sketchbook project paintings are very much inspired by my new home!!

Hi there! I've noticed you stick a lot of watercolor paper into your sketchbook. Have you got any other tips / tricks for what works on the thin pages and what doesn't? I'm trying to compile a bit of a test list:

Fabulous. The scenery around your new home must be wonderful.

Amazing!

Alina Chau said...

THank you everyone.

Papier et encre,

I use the same double sided tape like you the one you have to glue the watercolor paper on. Ink works OK. But the sketchbook paper wouldn't handle watercolor ... actually I double it can handle any water and oil base paints too well.

Collage may work well with the paper though!
