Tutorial - Cards For these cards I have used 200gr watercolor paper from Canson which I have cut down to A6 format (5.83 x 4.13 inches). The color blocks from Derwent that I have used is water soluble but become permanent once dry, these go by the name Inktense but it works just as well with ordinary water colors. I do like to paint with water brushes, they are like thin water bottles filled with water and have a brush in the end, squeezing the bottle gently produces the small amount of water needed to paint. I have used a block made of acrylic that I have painted on, to transfer the color to the paper, use the block as a stamp, be careful so that you don’t get the colors to wet to keep it from dripping all over the place. - Anna 1 2 Water brushes filled and ready to use.
