I’ve been preparing heavy watercolour paper by spongepainting, letting it dry, then drawing patterns with Wild Gears.

Watercolour paper stretches when wet, so needs to be taped down on a flat surface like a board. A better tape than what I’m using (beige masking tape or green painter’s tape) is gummed paper tape.
