I've always wanted to paint a portrait of Zooey Deschanel (my girl crush), but for some unknown reason, this also seemed to be a daunting task for me. The photo in this article is one of my favorite shots of her, so I tried my luck and made my first "mistake" for this project - using the "correct" side of a watercolor paper.
I don't know what I was thinking when I purchased a rough watercolor sheet, so I've been intentionally using its back side because it's a struggle for me to paint otherwise. Although the texture is too rough for my liking, I'm glad that I got to overcome my nerves in terms of painting Zooey and doing it on rough watercolor paper.
What are your favorite watercolor paper brands and types?
