SQUASH WASHES

 
I started putting in my beginning washes today for my squash still life.  I quickly became aware that my paint was acting in a rather unusual way...I had accidentally picked up a water media canvas, used mostly for watercolor!  My acrylic paint was beading up and running instead of gripping the canvas like normal. My washes were staying quite bright, unlike when I normally work a painting, and the color tends to dull and soak into the surface.  How exciting!!! I immediately did a bit of rethinking on what my painting would (or rather, COULD) come out to be.  I have an idea...
