I might have exaggerated this slightly, but the white fur on a polar bear will reflect colors surrounding the bear. Most all surfaces will reflect surrounding colors. This is a small 5 inch by 8 inch watercolor I did for a demonstration in one of my many watercolor workshops. Painted on 140lb. Arches cold press. I hardly ever tape down my paper. It just lies on whatever surface as I am painting.

Thanks, Sharon.
Great illustration of reflected colours. I've shared this post on FB.
I love putting other colors onto white. they do reflect what's around them and if they dont' it still looks good to do it..

A beautiful play of colors to still read white, David :)
Love all the wonderful colors! Doesn't the paper curl up some when you paint on it?
Annie, The paper curls a little, but when I'm done with the painting, I spray water on the backside and put books on top and36 let the painting dry over night. After drying, the painting is flat as a pancake.
!excelente acuarela!
y con un gran colorido, muy bonito...
un saludo
Gracias, Sarabel.
