Watercolor Painting of Otis the Japanese Dog I am working on


















I enjoyed the acrylic of Otis (yes I gave him a name) so much that I decide to set him up with a different background and position. I decide to paint this one in watercolor just because I have missed it and I wanted to give the Canson Artboard another try. I am finding the board an adjustment as it is very absorbent, but that might turn out to work in my favor.  As I mentioned before with the pears I had a problem with it bowing. A rep for the company saw my post and emailed me with a solution, he said to paint an x corner to corner with water on the backside and let it dry... and it worked perfectly...no more bow, it was nice and flat. Thank you Canson :)
I am hoping to finish this one up quickly, I will post an update as soon as I can. Thanks
