Stretching Watercolour Paper

As with many practices in watercolour, Stretching your paper is a personal choice.
Or is used in occasions when needed. 
Stretching the paper is done to prevent your surface from buckling while you are working. 
It also give the painting a secure ground to be kept on if its going to take a few sittings to finish it. 

It is a fundamental skill in any watercolourists "tool box", and worth experimenting with to see if it does suit your style of working. 

The video tutorial below goes through two ways I prepare my paper.

When your paper is ready to use Fill it up with COLOUR!
Have a go ... Have fun!

Handmade with Love

    Hi, 
    My name is Joni and I am a full time Artist in New Plymouth, a small city situated between the sea and Mt Taranaki.
    With my very understanding Husband, patient children and all our weird and wonderful pets we enjoy a quite life filled with good vibes, good food and a lot of Love.     
    I love teaching art and enabling others to pursue their creative dreams! I hope I can inspire you too.
