PAPER STRETCHING

PAPER STRETCHING

So due to the paper wrinkles in my latest animal portraits, I've decided to listen to my tutors advice and try 'paper stretching' which is where you wet a piece of paper and tap it flat to a board using Gum tape.  When the paper dries you can paint on it and as it will have been 'stretched' it wont wrinkle or flake when you paint on it.

So so far five of my pictures have been just spontaneously done on plain free paper - now the other five I will do on the stretched paper and we shall see the results in future posts hopefully! ^_^ 

Have a good one!
