Watercolour of Marseilles, 15" x 11" on Saunders Waterford Rough 300gms.
I've been experimenting recently painting on the 'wire mesh' side of Saunders Waterford paper rather than the normal (I think most people would paint on this side) 'Felt' side. I'm going to try a few paintings with this approach and see how I get on. I suppose it's more noticeable in the sky area - you can see the more regular pattern where the wire mesh has moulded itself into the surface. Apart from that, the absorbency seems the same as the other side as well as the 'roughness'. My scene is right outside the main railway station in Marseilles, and cars dropping off or collecting travellers.
