The paper I started painting today gave away.. it started pilling and i first wondered if I was painting on the wrong side. Later I flipped it and painted on the other side and the same happened.
This was one quarter of a sheet which had no issues when I painted on a other two quarters of it.
I took the last piece and then started painting.. my focus was more to see if it was pilling.
Planned to paint this easy landscape. But it was not that bad. It didn't misbehave like the one just before it, which I had just cut off from this piece!
No idea why this happened.. may be it got scratches on those areas somewhere when it was put up.
I missed to take a pic of sketch. Here is the process
Now I feel I should have concentrated more on my painting than paper. A lot of things could have been better in this .. may be can paint it another day without worrying about the paper.
And the tree.. better less said about it!
