I have been wanting to work on a larger scale with watercolors. But the trouble was always with the paper doing its thing when wet. I have found this great invention on the web that I want to share with you. Not only it keeps the paper stretched, but it is quick to accomplish and it provides a wonderful support for putting the board onto and easel for viewing it from a distance. I imagine, this would work very well with acrylics as well. The only limitation is the size. There is only one: half sheet, which is about 22" x 15". But for me, that is fine, as I am expanding from quarter sheet format. I suggest that you take time to view Gayle Weisfield's video on "youtube" and look at her web site. Below are the links.
