| Williamsville Water Mill Complex Watercolor on paper 8”x10” Chris Breier © 2014 |
Anybody from WNY will immediately recognize this image as the Mill located at Glen Falls Williamsville. During the summer months the parking lot is used for a farmers market where I buy fresh blueberries, corn and beefsteak tomatoes.
I used QOR watercolor paints on Arches 140 pound rough watercolor paper. I have tried various papers and finishes but I keep coming back to Arches rough. I like the rough paper for dry brush techniques and because it can take a lot of abuse, lifting and scrubbing away colors doesn't destroy the surface. I prefer blocks of watercolor paper instead of individual sheets because I don't have to waste time stretching it. When it dries the paper shrinks and the sealed edges of the block ensures that it will dry perfectly flat.
