Watercolors don't have the depth, the richness, the seriousness, in my humble opinion--plus you need matting and backing and glass--they're more troublesome to frame. Framing aside, you're great with both.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-85554212360172723292012-08-09T07:38:37.357-07:002012-08-09T07:38:37.357-07:00I have heard that it is good to try other mediums ...I have heard that it is good to try other mediums and I think you have done well, much better than I would.
