    Can we peel the brown gum tape off the drawing? To give a white border. Considering i do not want to make my A4 painting any smaller.

    • @watercolorish
      @watercolorish 15 дней назад

      I have found the brown kraft tape does not peel off the watercolor paper without leaving a residue. Even if you soak the edges to remove it, there may be some of the adhesive remaining that could yellow over the years, so I think it's best to cut it off. Maybe a larger paper size would be the solution for you...?

    This is lots of labor :-)) I have been using a system that I thought and implemented long ago. I "painted" a 1/2" thick plywood board (so that it doesn't absorb water) a little larger then the watercolor paper. I wet the paper, and position it properly on this board. Then I place four 1/4" thick, 1.5-2" wide "painted" sticks along four edges of the paper. Then I use large clips that you normally see on board clips to clamp everything together in a manner that the paper is sandwiched between the thin sticks and the board. And I let everything dry. When I remove the paper, I don't have to deal with gummed tapes, or cut out staple holes, or anything else. Try to implement one. It is easy and effective.

    • @windsurfingphd
      @windsurfingphd Месяц назад

      @@watercolorish I also implemented the magnet version of this. This time you have a 1/4" glass background where you glue your magnets that align the edges of the watercolor paper. Then place your wet watercolor paper on top of the glass. On top of your paper place a strip of thin paper along the four edges of the watercolor paper. Then place another set of magnets that face the first set under the glass platform. The thin paper strips may be necessary in case the magnet stains the watercolor paper. You may replace the paper strip with thin wood strips if you have stronger magnets. Anyhow, this method works okay too as long as you use "strong" Niobium magnets. Give a try! Good luck!

    I'm new to watercolor but i am doing it for a friend. I'mnormally an oil painter and i find watercolor to be daunting. My first buckled so much! and inconsistently. What she wants is a huge piece, 30x40, and I'm wondering what wooden board I may use to stretch? A lot of wood is kind of warpy. Or if there is another cheaper alternative for something of that size?

    • @watercolorish
      @watercolorish Месяц назад

      That's a big watercolor! If you're stretching the paper, I think a large 3/4"-thick sheet of plywood would be your best bet to avoid warping. But this might be a case where working on unstretched 300-lb. paper would make more sense, and hopefully it won't buckle much

    Love your art, man! Have you ever tried Schmincke masking fluid? It's different than other masking fluids I have tried. First off, it doesn't smell. It is also easy to clean from brushes. Can be mixed with water to make it more accurate when using it. I am not sure about shelf life, as I haven't used it for a very long time.
