CREATING ART MATERIALS AT HOME-CANADIAN ROCKIES




I decided to make my own paper for painting, even though I have lots of watercolour paper. This is for those at home who want to create but do not have the tools. I used a cookie sheet as my template and layered in the paper towel. I would put one layer down, then wet with a spray bottle with water. After each layer, I would flatten with my hand and then roll with a water bottle. I then baked in the oven at 350 for a couple of minutes, then poured a layer of water again over the paper, an ounce or so. In the oven again for 2 minutes, then I let sit wet on the counter as I prepared my colours.
