Allrighty. So I finally broke down and bought a set of watercolors. Problem is, I have NO clue whatsoever how to use them. I bought a block of 140lb cold pressed watercolor paper. Do I still need a board to stretch the paper on? And I spritz my paper with water BEFORE painting? Do I just use the paint out of the tube, or do I need to dilute it with water? :)

I'm hoping some of you watercolor gurus out there can help. :>

thanks!

We had a really awesome day yesterday. Lunch with Feren, a trip to Hobby Lobby (where I picked up new art supplies), and then gaming.

I think the pinnacle of my day was coming home and finding a single rose laying on my desk.

I love that man of mine.
