Frequently Asked Questions

What is "palette knife watercolor"?

My preferred way to paint! I squeeze watercolor paint from the tube onto a palette knife, then apply it to wet paper to let the magic happen!

How do I remove a painting from the mat?

Matted paintings are attached to the mat with acid-free paper hinging tape. To remove the tape, apply some water to it with a sponge, a brush, or your finger. Try to get the water only on the tape. Allow the water to penetrate the tape for a bit, to release the adhesive, then gently try to pull the painting away from the mat.

If the tape is not releasing, apply a bit more water, wait for it to penetrate, then try again. With the right amount of water and patience, the tape should pull cleanly off the painting, and possibly the mat.
