How to cut heavy watercolor paper with deckle edge
Sharing buttons:
hi everyone I wanted to try painting on
some really heavy watercolor paper the
300-pound paper I have been painting on
these blocks that are 9 by 12 in the
state they work fine and they're good
for a lot of things but I really wanted
to try my hand at the thicker paper so
this paper comes in these are two halves
so it comes in a 22 by 30 inch paper if
you have the full sheet that's 22 by 30
then you have 15 by 22 as a half sheet
15 by 11 quarter sheet seven and a half
by 11 this is an eighth sheet and seven
and a half by five and a half is a
sixteenth sheet most of the time I would
want to paint on eleven by seven and a
half that's just the size I prefer so
let me show you the clip of me cutting
it it's it wasn't as easy as I thought
it would be if you take the paper and
you fold it and you bend it back and
forth that we can sit in a little bit
and you could just use you could just
use scissors but then you wouldn't have
that they call it the deckle edge so I'm
going to show you a short clip of my
attempt at cutting it in half

my great big watercolor paper into
smaller sheets like that seven and a
half by eleven so I can paint on them
