I want to give a card to one of my teachers and wanted to decorate it personally, I have never been into painting, but I don’t want to get anyone else to paint for me. Wish me Luck

Your personal journey about that card is really sweet (Thanks for sharing it with us). Can't wait for the finale.

Be careful about the paper. Make sure to use the tape to tension the paper so there won't be any wrinkles and consider buying paper made specifically for watercolors.

Thanks a lot, I actually went a step down and used old A4 sheets that were printed on one side lol, just because I always feel guilty wasting perfectly good papers, I will buy better ones for the actual thing though

Can you tell me what do you mean by ‘sealing the surface’

There isn’t really anyone else to share with, so the internet it is

And yeah I am seriously considering getting specific papers, it seems like normal ones get a little weird with water

Edit: Also yeah I would want to share what happens, but I feel a lot of context will be needed for a post of that kind to make sense, will see
