2006年1月14日 · 2) The Wilcox Guide to the Best Watercolor Paints, by Michael Wilcox This excellent book provides lots of information to help you select the best paints. Make sure the edition you rely on is recent – my local library has only a 5-year-old edition. I have the 2001-2002 edition, and I’ll get the newest one as soon as I see that it’s available.

FINISHED paintings created with watercolor paints, watercolor pencils, or gouache go here. They may be painted on any surface compatible with watercolor such as paper, gesso, YUPO, clay board, and illustration board. Small enhancements using other media to add highlights, draw lines, create resists, or make corrections may be acceptable.

2012年5月19日 · I’m getting a carpenter friend to make me a storage box for my watercolor papers, using MDF or plywood. I’m aware that fine papers should not be left in contact with unsealed wood or wood composites in the long-term.
