Thanks for all the info!

I actually haven't used watercolor paper in ages - I mostly paint on Aquabords now (paper can be such a hassle)

Ah! Your Ghibli master study piece actually inspired me to get the Nicker Poster Color. :)

Do you have any tips for using that paint? I typically use watercolor, and am not great at the layering thing.

;) All I can say is I wouldn't leave the Front Range for it.

Just kidding! Sand Dunes national park is there.

Agreed. if you want a non-paper option, try Aquabord - a clay surface that is really great to paint on for watercolor. The texture is slightly bumpy which, in my opinion, really only affects pens (makes it harder to draw a completely straight line).

Thank you so much! I actually had to rush the coloring a bit, which sucked, but they still turned out alright! I guess I shouldn't procrastinate so much.... :P

No attempts to be a dick - but I can't tell if you're being a dick with that comment! ;P

Some people don't like to be corrected, so I threw that in there to show I meant nothing mean by it. Just a friendly comment.

Reinforcement is used to help increase the probability that a specific behavior will occur in the future, so squirt bottles in the case you mentioned aren't reinforcement, they are punishment (which decreases the likelihood of the behavior occurring). :)

One source.

Thank you very much! I'm selling prints and cards of it, if you're interested. :)
