Wednesday Watercolors - Apricots on three different Arches watercolor papers

Hi again!

More watercolors today - I just LOVE summer break (-:!!!

Those of you who follow my blog know my new years' resolution to start painting again is actually going quite OK  = I  haven't given up yet - but what I've done - being a restless soul-  is that I've jumped from one subject to another - probably not the best way for improving your painting techniques...
BUT today I did the opposite - I painted exactly the same thing Three times in a row - my plan was that I would loosen up my painting style for each time I did it, BUT at the same time I wanted to try the difference between 3 different types of Arches watercolor papers and compare results and feeling. I really loved doing it but because the papers behave so differently, I Think it prevented me a bit from loosening up as much as I had planned. As Always I blame the paper for everything (-:
Anyway here are the samples:
