LAVENDER SCENT - Watercolor on Canvas

LAVENDER SCENT
Original Watercolor mounted on canvas - 8x10

I am always on the look out for different ways to display my watercolor paintings so I decided to try mounting them on a stretched canvas. I first painted the canvas a coordinating lavender color, using a sponge and two different shades to create a little contrast and texture. Because the canvas is gallery wrapped there are no staples showing along the edge so after I mounted the 140 lb watercolor paper to the canvas it was ready to display - either by hanging on the wall, propped on a shelf or on a decorative easel!
