@@Zitronenkojote It makes such a big difference! I still use it even though I'm starting to experiment with larger paintings again now that I've been doing watercolor for a while. Hope you enjoy giving it a try!
@@WatercolorKari ohh, yes!! I'm gonna use some old scraps soon to swatch skin tones until I get the colors how I want them. Then I just need to make sure I can re-create them!
Haha, love how you were concentrating on peeling the washi tape and couldn't talk at the same time. That's me every single video when I attempt to paint and talk at the same time. lol Three cheers for line and wash!! 👏🎉
@@barbaram.6220 yes! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. It's always fun seeing who views these videos. Now I'm starting to enjoy larger paintings so I can fit more details but I still love my small ones for so much!
@@WatercolorKari Thank you! Now you see why I just had to start this channel and stop keeping all this stuff hidden away. 🤣 It really has got me painting more. Although it has me on my computer editing more, too. 😂😅 But I'm at a weird place where I have the time and want to fill it with something positive! 🎨🖌️🖼️
I have an A4 watercolour pad, that I then cut the pages down to either A5 or A6 sizes and the paint on those sizes, and I have never thought about using washi, thank you for that tip young lady
Thank you for letting me know that helped! These tips seem obvious once you've tried them, but that's why I wanted to share them...in case there are some that others haven't tried yet. Thanks for watching and am excited for you to try the washi tape!
Green frog tape is awesome. No bleed through and comes off easy and clean.
Thank you Megan, good tips!
@@ljclauson Thank you! I hope you enjoy trying them throughout the new year!
I tape my paper to plastic place mats from the dollar store. It protects my table and is easy to move around.
@@Anberel ohh, I love that! Such a good idea. And you can find really cute ones. Plus easy to clean. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
Beautiful my dear, thanks for showing! 🤍🤍🤗
The small bits of paper is a great idea. Never thought of that! Thank you!

Use a hair dryer or heat tool to warm the adhesive on the tape before peeling off. Rarely does the paper tear if I warm it first.
Thank you for sharing! And for watching! I should use my hair dryer for that since I don't use it for my hair much. 🤣
Yes, I use the backs sometimes as well when I'm practicing. Or sometimes I'll use the backs of dud paintings for swatching colors. 🎨
