Colouring backgrounds

[jwillyfontana]

Thanks for the responses. Will have to get on with a little experimentation, and perhaps report back in due course

But surely the watercolours are behaving as you would expect? Watercolour has transparancy so that the colour of the background paper must affect the watercolour paints on it.

Why not start with a coloured background.

Or wash the background colour on before painting.
