The idea that you can absolute delete a wrong move is almost contrary to the basic (old) rules of watercolour!
Gee, Pat and I feel the same way about paper.... but at a different 
degree of quality. I have Papier d'Arches at 300# that I am afraid to 
use for fear of messing it up (again), and I suspect Pat would laugh at 
that. Even the idea of Twinrocker boggles my mind. I think if I had a 
piece of that paper I'd just frame it as it is- no painting to ruin it.
