| definition | Laying a sheet of watercolour paper on a rigid support and taping all sides down to the support in order to avoid buckling and warping; paper stays relatively flat while you paint (avoiding unwanted and uneven pooling) and the finished painting dries perfectly flat.Any paper of less than a 300lb weight will warp if not stretched; the amount of warp is dependent on the amount of water absorbed in the painting process. Stretching is not necessary if you're using synthetic papers (which are not prone to warping) or if you're using a watercolor block as long as the painting is left on the block to dry. |
