Painting on watercolor canvas is a different experience than painting on watercolor paper, so there may be a learning curve as you first start out. For instance, the watercolors will stay wet longer on the watercolor canvas than they will on paper. Plus, even though the watercolor canvas is coated with a gesso that is specially formulated for use with watercolors, the surface is still not as absorbent as watercolor paper.
To get the most out of watercolor canvas, you might want to make your first painting on watercolor canvas an experiment, so you can test out different techniques and take note of how the watercolors react to the canvas. This can save you from making lots of mistakes when you paint a "real" painting on watercolor canvas. Here's a detailed look at watercolor paint that explains such attributes as color, permanence, quality, transparency, staining, brands and more, with suggestions on what to buy.
