Thanks.

Hi Jennifer! If you are having tape problems there is a video here on the blog on how to prevent them called “how to prevent artists tape from tearing your paper”.
Hope that helps!

It’s been a very hard painting and I mistakenly got too much water on the paper trying to fix something and I was wondering if there is some way to smooth it out again. I don’t want to give up on it. I used a 15×11 Canson watercolor paper. I had Arches watercolor paper but it wasn’t big enough, but I think it would have held up better during this whole procsess. I did stretch the paper in the beginning. Is there any help? Thank you. when this is done a want to send it in for a critque, which I have never done before.

Hi Tamara,

No shopping list right now, but you can use what you have. You don’t need to have all of the materials to learn and create great work.

I have some of these but not all.

I haven’t been able to figure out what size brushes you use. What size Grumbacher brush are you using in the woodland water color? Thanks.
