IMPORTANT WATERCOLOR INFORMATION!!!! - Drawing Boards & Working Surfaces for Painting! 

Thanks for this great resource, Chris. I'm looking forward to part 2, as I have often searched for an ideal transition mount for attaching a board to a tripod and am very interested in seeing what kind of setup you have.

Thank you Chris for taking the time to sharing your setup....I like to use 1/4 plexiglass as well as masonite board.... have you ever stretched your watercolor paper? Look forward to your video of the tripod set up... thanks again, very informative.

When I started watercolor lessons, my thrifty instructor also showed how to use recycled cardboard. We used clear tape it to keep it "waterproof". The masonite was stiff and thin, the foamcore was light and the cardboard was something I already owned and I didnt have to run out and buy. We also ued clipbards. All were cheap alternatives to buying a drawing board or easel. tfs, very useful info.

Thanks Chris. I didn't know about the 2x4 trick. I'll try that. I bought a Masonite board at Deserres art supplies store. They're a Canadian chain and have lots of pre-cut boards for oil painters use. But mostly I use a hard plastic clipboard bought at Dollarama, the largest Canadian dollar store chain, because I paint small at my kitchen table. Works perfect and cost about $2. I'd like to hear what solutions others use. Cheers from Toronto Ontario Canada. 😊

Thanks you Chris!

Thanks for the tips good job ! Hang in there and ignore the haters !!

Chalkboard is smooth gloss white one side and black chalkboard texture the other. Can be cut to desired size at box store. Usually in the smaller cut board section. Less expensive than the masonite.

Thank you.

Cela doit etre interressant ,mais je comprends pas l Anglais ! C est dommage ! 😀❤❤🇨🇵
