I did stretch some cheap cold-pressed paper for a few little technical exercises to get back into the watercolors. It needs to dry overnight, though. I started in this direction two or three years ago, but stalled when I found that my paints were all dried out (no surprise, they were 40 years old) and the search for new materials at an affordable price eventually turned me away. This time I have a little more expendable cash to jump start the process again, so I'm going to give it a whirl. I was pretty good at animal portraits and landscapes once upon a time.

Good hunting!

I let Argos provide the details here.
