Trying lots of  new stuff this week again while I wait for the acrylic paint.

This time I bought watercolor. Have not done that since I went to school as a child. So it is all new to me. A question to you that are used to the medium, is it possible to keep the paper from "bubbling"?

The Clay Forest, comes from cleaning up some remaning things from my mother. The clay was created by my mother and my daughter some 40 years ago. So, many memories there.
I photographed the pieces and manipulated them one by one in Photoshop. Then arranged the scene. The background is created by painting digitally with a tablet.


Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:

  4. Yes, there is a way to stop the paper from buckling..firstly, the weight of the paper matters. The heavier it is, the less it will warp. Also, you need to stretch the paper before you paint on it.

    Hope this helps. :)
