Heyy Sam you might know this, but I know you do a lot of watercolour work, and this is advice I've been told. 1) Use a bleed. Which is extra room around your work; if your piece is A4, use A3 paper. 2) Stretch the paper by first making the paper damp (soak in a bath 5-10 minutes depending on weight and then sponge dry) then use brown paper tape to stick it to a surface. Your paper shouldn't buckle at all then! :)
Hello ; v;
I usually use a border, all the art I did before these two have had borders (and then I just cropped them when I uploaded) ^^;; I didn’t do a border on these two because I needed the room haha (and I don’t think you need a border, I’ve seen lots of people do it without…)
I’ll try the stretchy thing next time, though I only have a kitchen sponge so I hope that’s alright haha
Thank you ^^
GAH oh my gosh art shows!?! That's so awesome your art is definitely going to be a hit! I'm doing okay just trying to finish up my senior year and get colleges in order.
Aha they aren’t fancy art shows ;A; Just where you set up a booth and people walk around ^^ I’ve been to a few to just look around but my parents are trying to get me to get a booth at one /sob
Ahhh senior year is always tough, I wish you luck with that! Have you picked out some colleges to apply to or not yet?
BTW I really like your new display picture! *u*
Sammmm! How have you been lately? Sorry I've been so busy and haven't messaged much! How's life and art?
Hello~! I’ve been pretty good, I’m trying to get some artwork done so that I can hopefully attend some art shows in my area. It’s nerve wracking though haha! How bout you, how have you been?? ; v; ♥
