What are the Best Supports for Watercolor
Painting?
Most discussions about painting supports focus on
papernot surprising since paper has been used as
a support for watercolor for many centuries. A
growing trend is modern alternatives, such as
rigid supports with absorbent grounds. What is
interesting is that nearly all the discussions
focus only on the surface properties of supports
rather than mechanical properties. The mechanical
properties of painting supports are as important,
if not more, than their surface qualities. The
former properties are rarely considered by
artists. This is surprising because for at least
40 years the greatest causes of paint degradation
have been attributed by conservators to the
stress on paint film resulting from the expansion
and contraction of the support due to changes in
relative humidity and temperature.
