Stretching paper : This process makes watercolor paper flat while painting because you have control over of the water absorption process.

1.Soak paper (300gsm.) for 15mins. into water.

2.Put the paper on a board and cover both side by newsprint paper to blott it (take out excess water). **Paper has to be cold and there is no water come out when it is touched.**

3.Use gum tape to attach the paper on the board. **Make sure the tape is "tacky" and not wet**

Watercolor : Trust in serendipity

Watercolor is a medium of light and is unpredictable. The more you control, the less you feel its fundamental character.

1.Water cycle : Reflection indicates how much water on the surface.

2.Consistency of paint : Paint consistency is noticeably related how paint behaves on different stage of moisture. For instance, diluted paint bleeds easily while viscous one doesn't.

3.EXPLORE > MAKE MISTAKES > DISCOVER > PRACTICE > REPEAT.

Is the most painterly print process. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination and can be used to create a wide range of outcomes. It is messy, but wonderful.

Step1: Have a flat, non-absorbent surface

Step 2: Apply water-based or oil based in ink

Step 3: EXPLORE. (Stencil, draw, paint, ghost, overlap, scratch)

Step 4: Overlap the paper you want to print onto

Step 5: Print - use press or burnish.

Additive: Draw patterns, shapes and designs directly onto an inked surface, usually an acrylic sheet. Gently lay a piece of paper on top of the inked surface to pick up the design.

Subtractive: Apply the paper, face down, directly to the inked acrylic surface and draw out your design on the back of the piece of paper whilst it is in position. The pressure will lift ink from the acrylic sheet to leave an image of what you have drawn on your paper.

Negative Drawing: Remove the ink from the plate (with brush or other tool and print from that)

Stencil: positive or negative.

Ghost: The print taken with the remaining ink on the plate/
