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.
