    Turns out watercolor falls flat on xuan paper.

    The contrast in cool and warm colors really draws you in. Very nice.

    Interesting experiment! Looks pretty good to me.

    You mentioned that the watercolor falls flat… Is it that the paper is too absorbent or not enough?

    I have never used xuan paper before, and I am curious about the speed and permanence of the surface… given that it supports calligraphic brushwork so well.

    Thanks Jessica!

    Thank you Ian, xuan paper is very absorbent, especially the type for painting. I probably should have used more pigment. The one people use for calligraphy is a little better.

    Nice!

    Looks like you did some targeted pre-watering?

    Thanks Ian! I applied water after the drawing. I used “Elegant Writer.” It’s a marker that’s somewhat water-soluble and bleeds in various colors.
