I recently bought a new watercolor block because I intend to do some paintings. For those who don't know what a block is, it's a watercolor book of many pages of paper glued to each other along the edges forming a block. This way when you paint using water, the pages don't buckle. They lay flat because they are glued together. This eliminates the problem of trying to work on bowed and buckled paper. When I took the wrapping off my newly purchased block and opened it, I realized all the paper was black. I meant to buy white. So I figured, let me see what I can accomplish on black paper. When I was done and cut the first page I worked on out of the block, I discovered that all the other pages were white. That black page was just a protective cover page. It was also the moment I realized that I am an IDIOT.
