Save Your Old Hand Towels

    This entry was originally posted on Saturday, March 10, 2012 

When I am painting, I wipe my brush often to help me control the moisture that goes into my paint and onto my paper.

I will keep a towel handy for this purpose. 

It is usually an old hand towel or washcloth. 

I do this instead of paper towels because I found that I could go through a whole roll in just one day!

Then I can hang it up to dry or toss it into the dryer before I use it again.

Starting in Chapter 4 of Watercolor 365. I started to combine my photos even more with the paintings.

The above illustration is of some of my hand towels that I use when painting.

I prefer hand towels over paper towels because I can just wash and reuse.

Below is the painting:
