Painting watercolor on Canson board

My current show will have a watercolor on Canson watercolor board with protective UC acrylic coatings  that I am experimenting with.  I like the feel of the watercolor on this surface. It forces me to be loose and go with the paint flow much like Yupo paper with a little more control.  I sprayed the surface with a UV protection and then again with an Acrylic protective varnish.  You can run this painting under a faucet and the colors are totally fixed!  This painting is for sale in a frame without glass much how oil paintings are exhibited but definitely has the look of a watercolor painting because it is!

Come to the show and check it out!
