    I have made myself a promise.
    Picasso made 50000+ pieces in his lifetime. My goal is to get to that or beat him. To do that I would have to make 2-4 pieces every day (depending on if I live to 60 or 90) and I'm going to do it. Doesn't matter if its a quick sketch, I've been using a paint program on my phone as well, just make something, get something out there.

    Who's with me?!
    *RALLY CALL!*

    Anyone know something that I could use to glue things to a canvas as well as seal them? for some reason separate glue and sealant seem to pull apart, and acrylic gel medium is getting expensive!

    No to Mod Podge....

    I was actually just going to suggest straight up watercolor paper! The main difference between it and mixed media and marker paper is the surface. Watercolor tends to have more tooth so the liquid stays put, but marker papers (and most bristols) have a smooth surface because the texture of the wc paper will make marker lines bleed/dip/wiggle. I know it sounds counter intuitive that rough surface keeps liquid in place and also wicks it around. Mix media paper tends to split the difference so it can be effective for both.

    Hope this was helpful! (Only just realized this post is 6+ months old. Whoops lol)
