After the acrylic pear, I wanted to paint one in watercolor. By the time everyone went to bed last night, I was wiped out and needed my daily painting to be quick. It seemed like a good opportunity for my watercolor pear!  I grabbed a piece of paper, started painting and immediately knew it was Lana. The paper handles so much different from all the other brands I use. It seems to have almost no sizing, so the paint doesn't move once you put it down. It's harder to do blending and soft edges. On the pros side, it shows layers of different colors so beautifully. You can almost take them apart as a puzzle.

In case you are wondering, this is not the same pear that I used for the acrylic painting. That one fell prey to my 9 month old daughter's excellent food-finding skills...
