You are an excellent watercolor artist. Thank you for sharing. I draw a heart in l❤ve when I write. I’ve been doing it for years. It’s pretty nice to know others have similar ideas.😊
Beautiful, Shelley! Do you happen to have a video that shows your technique for stapling down the watercolor paper and then later lifting it off when it is done? I currently paint on blocks to keep the paper flat, but it would probably be a lot less expensive to use bigger sheets and staple them down. 😅
I am working wet on dry but quickly and with very wet paint. I do this so that the colors don’t get diluted by the wet paper. Spray bottle can help keep things flowing if needed.
You are so talented and gracious with your knowledge. Thank you for sharing All your videos are so informative
Have a wonderful Christmas vacation! I will be practicing this technique during the holidays ❤
What a fun technique. Thanks for doing all the experimenting and bringing something new to us! You are such a joy to follow.
Brilliant Shelley, Have a wonderful holiday

It is more economical to use sheets and gives you the option of choosing your own size. I did a video on stretching but not removing.
What board do you staple your paper to? Love this demo... thank you!
Thank you. I’m using Gatorboard aka watercolor board
This is so fun! Will white gouache work the same way?
It should. Happy painting.
I’m making a Birthday card for my husband. When you suggested a cat, the message could be Feed Me.
Would a layer of gum arabic over the lettering make it clearer or would it ruin everything?
Gum Arabic by itself would be very shiny but would also become brittle and crack or flake off.
When putting your background colors in, are you working wet onto dry? You are not getting hard edges because the colors bleed together? Thanks!

Meeden also make a porcelain pallet like yours 😊
Yes one of my students just ordered one. It’s ceramic and quite nice. Mine is plastic so it’s a lighter for taking to/from classes and workshops.
What fixative please, Shelley?
Most workable fixatives are fine. Mine is called Spectrafix
Hello to a fellow Canadian! I just found your channel and I can't wait to do this project! So unique!
❤
It would work after a shower, on a steamy mirror also.
Another great idea!
