For Christmas, I received some Indigo ArtPapers paper. It shows on Amazon as Mixed Media, but the label says Hot Press which usually means watercolor paper. Either way, it works nicely with watercolor, though it does have some limitations.
I won’t say I love this work. I was testing the paper though, so liking the finished piece isn’t really the point, lol. I was out to destroy the paper!
Wanna buy some of these cool toys now?

I think the finished work is worth being proud of – it makes me think of summer and the pepper plants and all the possibilities in the kitchen! Beautiful!
Thank you, Mariam! It’s a bit rough in places but the paper was starting to pill pretty badly, so I had to stop. What I learned though is invaluable in knowing how to use this paper to advantage.
looks great! I kept thinking Red Hot Chili Peppers, hahahaha!
I think that’s the first thing that came to mind for a lot of people!
Some people just can’t help themselves – try as they might to be destructive, they end up returning to their core. This is a lovely painting.

The colors wonderful and the peppers very real looking.
