Painting Tip: How To Keep Your Paper From Curling

Painting on paper is a great way to be economical with your painting practice. I find that it allows for more freedom and less anxiety. However, it’s not exactly the same as painting on canvas. Canvas is flat…stretched…firm, and paper tends to curl up when you paint on it. I have a little painting tip for you that will help with that! In this video, I show you how to keep your paper from curling.
