Paint a Vintage Book Page Using Watercolor

Want to paint with us on a monthly basis? Check out our Let's Make Art Together digital watercolor projects here ➝ https://www.letsmakeart.com I am currently obsessed with painting on vintage book pages! The paint won’t bleed through because as things age, the sizing (adhesive) within the paper will cure, creating a surface that can be painted on and that won’t absorb water. This of course only works with lights washes and minimal layers - let’s do it! Supply List Paint: Daniel Smith - Undersea Green, Q.
