Intensely Blue
Doing watercolor on mixed media paper has its challenges. This paper is thinner that a lot of watercolor paper that might start at a weight of 140# and these mixed media papers are at most 140# or 180#. The water tends to make the paper war[ and form channels that pool the color pigment in different ways. I use a plastic card like you get at hotels to start the distant foregrounds highest values and then pull down color into the cliffs at the bottom or front of the painting.
