Nice, really, I'd hang it on the wall if I could get it to straighten up a bit. The colours, the light, yes, it's a good, fresh start. It can be good to procrastinate if it leads to this.

Did your teacher have you stretch them on stretcher-bars? You can also stretch previously soaked paper by stapling it on a piece of plywood.<br /><br />Or, you can buy paper in a watercolor block. A set of papers are gummed on all four sides to keep the paper from rippling. Blocks come in various sizes and various numbers of sheets.<br /><br />Or you can buy heavier paper. 90lb paper will always ripple. You can paint on 140lb paper without too much trouble, unless you're using very wet methods. On you can pay bigger bucks and buy 300lb paper which doesn't ripple under any circumstances.<br /><br />Or you can paint on Yupo - a plastic "paper", which is a whole other experience.<br /><br />Have fun exploring!Mary Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986934534719487604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-19649238236460736162017-01-14T21:27:36.795+00:002017-01-14T21:27:36.795+00:00You should be proud of that!
