I love what you've done here and in the pepper sketch above. You're really working in the flow of watercolor!<BR/>I'm interested in your observation about hot press paper and working quickly.

The big difference for me is the paper.

It is what I am trying to achieve these days as I continue to explore this medium—I'm so new to watercolor.
