Fingerprints!
Be extremely careful on how you handle your watercolor paper. Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
Oily fingers, sweaty hands, recently applied hand lotion, cold clammy fingers can all leave fingerprints on your watercolor paper. And guess what? They often don't show up until the paint is almost dry.
This is a great tip, especially for this time of year when the air is dry and you need hand lotion.
I have notice with hand lotion, the color seems to be attracted to it and the fingerprints dry darker. The natural oils in your hands or the oils from those chips you're snacking on can cause a resist and leave the finger print area paler.
