This stamp's been on my wish list for awhi...Dina--<br /><br />This stamp's been on my wish list for awhile! ;)<br /><br />A little about canvas paper--<br /><br />It's made primarily as a practice medium, esp for students--so they can blend colors or do quick sketches, etc; because it's so much cheaper than stretched canvas but gives a similar feel for your brushwork.<br />It will even take oils without bleeding through. I think it's this coating on the paper (to keep from bleeding) that has kept your watercolors from really shining... if you have oil pastels, you could try using a paintbrush with mineral spirits to take the color direct from the stick and paint with them that way. Can give the richness of oil color while still allowing you some transparency... (like watercolor, but different).<br /><br />I haven't done this for awhile myself, and not on canvas paper--but it does work on regular canvas so it should here too.<br /><br />Frederix makes a good line of canvas paper, along with their wonderful watercolor and traditional canvases; you can find these (and other supplies) cheaply at dickblick.com <br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />Hugs from Texas,<br />--Kathryn<br /><A HREF="http://kitchentablecrafter.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Kitchen Table Crafter</A>Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959819848523318406noreply@blogger.com
