I did some experimentation once again. The paper I used for the first painting is normal cheap drawing sheets which are quiet smooth and have no texture. I did not use any pencil because I thought it was unnecessary as I was just doing a trial on the paper. It took about 30 minutes to complete. Though this paper does not reflect as much light as a proper watercolor paper, I did quiet like the end result.
The photo for this came from a friend which she clicked at Ladakh.
I have also posted some doodles from my sketch book.

I take it that the cardboard was coated, or you coated it first Prabal? In any case, the painting turned out quite well on it.
Love the sketches - so colourful and fresh.
Frank,
I am sorry. I meant a drawing sheet actually. Thanks for pointing it out. I have changed it. And also thanks for your comment.
Super sketches Prabal! Such a valuable exercise - something I should do more often :0)
I really like the second house sketch. This is how I want to paint.
Hello Prabal, the drawing sheet held the watercolor well. You must have stretched it, no?
These are just simply beautiful Prabal! I love how loose and gestural they are. And you really have a great sense with color. :)
Sandra,
Yes they are VALUEable excercises. :)
Liana,
Thats the best compliment I have got in a long time.
Carol,
No I did not stretch it. I am too lazy to do strtching of paper. In fact I have never done it. But yes the paper buckled a bit, but not really much. I was not doing any wet on wet. So buckling was less.
Crystal,
Thanks for your compliment. I am glad that you enjoyed these.
Preciosas acuarelas, muy personales, te felicito
