You have to work on it with the board flat. I usually paint with the board upright. Myrna recommends the use of Dr. Martin's Hydrus liquid watercolors because of their staining strength. It's possible to use tube watercolors, but they must beMary Paquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847021818957221109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572300932905140618.post-44939195744083414162010-01-13T19:29:48.136-08:002010-01-13T19:29:48.136-08:00Mary,

The only time I used it was as a writing surface for a poetry installation I created near my summer house. I needed something that would withstand the high winds off the ocean etc. After many attempts to keep it secured it flapped away into nothingness. I had forgotten all about that. Thanks for the reminder.

She used to be able to get it in art stores, but they no longer stock it. She orders 500 sheets at a time from a commercial supplier and then she sells it to people at cost, $2.00 a sheet. She's even sent some off to people in other parts ofMary Paquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847021818957221109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572300932905140618.post-2213869287329087382010-01-13T05:54:13.267-08:002010-01-13T05:54:13.267-08:00This is great work Mary!
