Daily Creativity: Jupiter

Jupiter-smJupiter is so far my favorite painting I have done in my solar system series. I used hot pressed paper this time, normally I paint on cold pressed paper, but I saw this today when I was at the art store and thought it might work well for the planets. The difference is with hot pressed paper the finish is smooth and very soft to the touch, cold pressed has more texture and absorbs the paint more. Watercolor on paper. 3/23/2015
