For me it's the opposite. If I try something other than watercolor, I feel lost. Even though I started with acrylic a long time ago, I have a hard time going back to it.

Well at this point I wouldn't either. You have real talent. This is clearly your medium for now, run with it!

Do you use a wet or dry canvas?

I always soak my watercolor papers before I paint.

Thanks this is what I have tried in the past. I have just can't make my colours look like that. With oils I use a base coat of white paint and I find it to be an incredibly forgiving medium because of how long it takes to dry...you definitely don't have this leeway with water colour in my experience. Thanks for taking the time answering my questions. I appreciate it.
