" Hi! I’m John Junger. I do the paintings that we’re going to be talking about, the watercolors. I’m here representing expertvillage.com. First thing I do, and in this case, I won’t take the paper up off but I’ll soak the paper, and you can put it down on another board. I showed you this previously where I wet the entire paper while it was getting a little bit dry; the corners started to come up, I tacked if down with a stapler. You can use a regular office stapler or you can use a heavier stapler. This is a foam board, it has a plastic coating, and you can get that on various thicknesses and sizes too. That gives you a little bit more of a tooth to put your staples in. "
