I now use gatorboard to stretch my watercolors. The shower is a good idea to wet the paper. I use a large, narrow, plastic bin that is used for wall papering. It can be found at a hardware store. I fill it about 1/3 full of water and pull my paper in and out of the water until it is completely soaked. Good luck with this. I think you will like the large size!Lorraine Watry, NWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608250738272377802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250068323501618005.post-1124859936048934302011-04-12T12:48:42.742-05:002011-04-12T12:48:42.742-05:00informative and inspiring post!

I enjoyed reading about the process yo...Hi Carrie!<br /><br />I enjoyed reading about the process you do to prepare your work surface for painting. Can't believe you make your own graphite paper! Since I know nothing about painting, why do you staple your paper onto the front instead of the back? Or do you remove the staples so they are not visible? Can't wait until one day, you hear the shower running and find one of the kids getting a piece of paper wet..... <br />Your painting is looking beautiful already. Please send some of your sunny, warm weather up here; I'm sick of the rain! Hope you all feel better soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250068323501618005.post-6321162390205367342011-04-11T12:24:09.393-05:002011-04-11T12:24:09.393-05:00Hola , descubro su blog, muy interesante y con una...Hola , descubro su blog, muy interesante y con unas acuarelas magníficas , enhorabuena.<br />Saludos.F.M.Marrouchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429488531350760155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250068323501618005.post-64949051454000617492011-04-11T11:26:28.702-05:002011-04-11T11:26:28.702-05:00That is so cool Carrie!
