Wow... is that all watercolor work?
8 are watercolor and the rest are acrylic which are water based any way, thank you for your response, my heart responds to your comments, I only paint when love enters my life and takes control of my emotions, and thank you again. 
Yes, it's useful when you paint by emotion, you get the most effective linkage between the brush and your heart. Anyway what kind of paper you have been using for watercolor painting?
I mainly use Fabriano high quality rag/cotton water colour paper and I prepare it by wetting it completely then taping it down with brown paper tape with all 4 edges on a plywood board, the board is about 10cm larger than the paper, I also put a hole in the board in one corner, so I can easily carry it. I allow this to dry, it will feel like a tight drum on the surface and the board is slighly bowed. I prepare about 4 boards in one sitting, then I wait until inspiration or a commision before I start to do any painting. They are very portable and great for outdoor scenes. I then start by appling washes of colour, usually high quality Rowney water colours with a broard chinese brush, sometimes I apply a small dabs of latex paint where I don't want the colour to bleed in. When the painting is finished you cut around between the edge of the tape and the paper, I hope this was clear..good luck and thank you ...regards Arto
