[Aquanet] Tom Lynch

Hi hi
I went to his workshop in Toronto where he did that and I can't remember if he suggested spraying it with fixative or varnish or anything.  If the canvas gets wet the watercolour runs.  The voice of experience speaking here.  Valerie Kent

I went to a Tom Lynch watercolor workshop in Black Mountain, NC last summer.
Tom works exclusively on the Fredrix canvas now. He says that his work is in
much higher demand from galleries since he has switched from paper.  There
is no framing involved at all, as it is stretched already. The galleries are
now hanging his work in the front window because there is no glare from the
glass.

To begin a painting, you squirt the entire canvas with water, then wipe with
a terry cloth towel.  Then it is ready to paint.
