Hi friends, we went to Belfast last weekend and I popped into my favorite little art shop there called Fiddleheads. I saw some beautiful handmade round watercolor paper packs there and decided to try them out!
Here is the reference photo I took. A few blooms fell off of the potted petunia I got for my mom for mothers day so I put them in a shot glass, Fancy!
The paper surface is hot-pressed and smoother than other handmade papers I have used. I really liked it! You can check it out and paint along in today’s tutorial

- Shizen 8″ round watercolor paper
- M Graham Watercolor in Ultramarine, sap green, gamboge, quin Rose
- My Signature watercolor brushes
I think if I were to frame this I would mount it on a black matboard and then cut a square mat to go around the paper so you can see the pretty deckle edge and then frame it in a sure frame. They make 12″ square frames for record albums and scrapbook pages so they are pretty easy to find. Would you frame it? Happy crafting!

The paper with your work of art – simply beautiful! I will have to visit Fiddleheads. I’ve heard of it but never gone there.

Definitely I would frame it with a square mat as you said or a round one slightly larger than the art then a square frame.

Please don’t worry so much about how long your video takes. I think once people are painting, they are having a good time, and don’t even realize how long it’s taking. Besides, most following, are probably a little slower than you are anyway and need to catch up.
