I really like your video. It always keeps me calm and patient. But I was wondering how to keep the watercolor paintings at home? I mean, to preserve them.
Larry Hamilton
Well, for sure you don't want to get them wet!! I usually keep them stored in a flat drawer or storage shelf that keeps them flat. As long as you use acid free watercolor paper (most all paper is acid free) it won't hurt to stack them and carry them around. I frame some for sale and I also just mat some and store them in plastic display bags that I take to art shows and sell some that way. Hope this helps.
