@@lisadenison389 So this petal was almost completely stretched before I started, but as the paint dried it did shrink a little bit. I For the stem wrap that I painted (coming soon!) that actually shrank quite a bit as it dried, even though it was fully stretched to start with. As I restretched it there were a few tiny spots that didn't have paint on, but I was pretty impressed with how well it covered. Acrylics are generally a little bit flexible, so that helps if you do need to stretch it more. It also helps if the paper is a little bit watered down, if it's too thick I think it'd be more likely to crack as you stretched it. I can definitely show a few different examples starting with stretched and unstretched paper etc, compared to how they dry - thanks for the suggestion! I'll try and get that up next week for you! Thanks Lisa!

Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I’d love to see what it looks like stretched! ♥️
