Step 8Ready to paint
Now you can paint on it with watercolor. Once you are done with your painting, if you like it, let it dry for half an hour or so and then you can work back into it or remove the finished painting from the pad and use the sheet underneath for the next painting. If you don't like it, you can just tear away the top sheet and do another one.
In the picture I've applied a really heavy wet wash. It wrinkles up somewhat but when it dries it will be almost smooth again (see second picture).
Now you can experiment freely with watercolors and take risks and try out many ideas because it is much less expensive this way.
It will probably work even better with heavier stock paper, such as letterhead stock, but of course, that paper costs about twice as much or more. Still, you can probably get about 10 or more watercolor blocks out of a ream of paper, so it is still economical.
