The trick is to buy the good watercolors and not use a whole lot of water. The iridescent ones are very concentrated, but most other cake watercolors are too lame for me. I buy the more expensive ones that come in tubes like oils and acrylics do. @Claire... Most of the time, the colors scan pretty true to life, so all I have to do is adjust the size and resolution before uploading. Every now and again, the scans are crap, so I have to try adjusting the colors using Photoshop. Mostly, that happens when I use the fluorescent paints. Fluorescent paints do NOT scan well at all. @Haley… The trick is to buy the good watercolors and not use a whole lot of water.

I love the vibrant colors on that piece. You've opened my eyes to the possibilities. :) My problem with most watercolors is they’re too pastel for my taste. I love the vibrant colors on that piece.

Lots and lots and lots of rain. I'm glad I live uphill from the river (Hudson). We’re just getting rain. Lots and lots and lots of rain. I’m glad I live uphill from the river (Hudson).
