Good morning again. This is Sue Rose with Expert Village. I'm going to show you how
to tape your piece of watercolor paper to...I use a masonite board. One of the reasons that
we always tape down the watercolor paper is that when the paper is fairly heavy but when
you add water to it it stands to buckle. It will lay flat and it's much easier to be matted
when it is taped to the board and you want to get all the wrinkles out. Some people even
use a technique called wet on wet in their watercolor. I will show you. Part of this
is done wet on wet. There are 2 ways to do watercolor. One is wet on wet and one is just
on dry paper but we're going to start with this called loosely wet on wet. I also use
a hairdryer to dry some of my watercolor painting. I also occasionally work on 2 or 3 different
paintings at a time to allow one to dry while I'm working on the other one. Stay tuned for
the next segment and I will tell you the colors that we're going to use today.
