Hi I'm Marcia Matcham and I'm here speaking on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to talk about my water color methods. I'm a watercolor artist and I'm been painting for about 45 years and first of all I will tell you about the material I use which they are a little unusual maybe. I don't paint, I typically water color style which I think of it more as a wash style my is a more of a opaque style and I paint a lot of subject matter. I guess you could say I paint everything but except portraits/people. My paper this heavy well it comes in different weights and this is the 500 pound weight and it is called bristol board and it is not really true water color paper it is more of all purpose paper. People use it for all kinds of things like pencil drawings and color pencil and ink drawings and things like that.
