I worked some more on my seashell watercolors in my journal by the pool this afternoon, and yes – that’s pool water I’m painting with. 
Happy Summer!

I was waiting to see who’d be the person to comment on my toenails, lol! Yesterday, I stubbed (badly!) my pinkie toe on my left foot. It’s getting better, but no more toenail photos for me for a while til it “heels”

Nice! How did the chlorine affect the paint?
LikeLike
The page on the left is gessoed – so the paint sort of glides over the surface and dries. The page on the right is regular paper and the paint with the chlorine works the same as tap water, which also has chlorine albeit less of it. This is not a professional quality painting, so I am not concerned about archival aspects. Good question, Arlene – thanks!
