Join us at Upwards Art Studio to learn how to cut full sheets of watercolour paper down to small sizes. This technique can be used to cut down printmaking paper as well. We do not recommend this technique for cutting washi or other Japanese papers.
Supplies used:
- full sheet of watercolour paper
- bone folder recommended (alternatives: butter knife, potter’s rib, printmaker’s burnisher, or similar)
- trim guide (available in the painting section of hardware stores)
We have a selection of watercolour papers at Upwards Art Studio available in sheets, pads, and blocks.
