Did you know you can use watercolour on canvas and you don't need to just paint watercolours on paper? Perhaps you did know and wondered what the point was - why bother? If paper has been good enough for hundreds of years, why would you want to paint watercolour on canvas? I share a few of the advantages, the main one being how incredibly easy it is to fix mistakes.
Watercolour can be very unforgiving. You can correct some mistakes, but because it is transparent, anything you do wrong will shine through the subsequent layers. On canvas the paint lifts very easily and I will show you how. I'll also mention a few of the other advantages as we go along.
