This is my instructor his name is Stephen Player. If you are from the UK you'll know him from doing cover work for Clive Barker and Terry Pratchet. He is one of the best watercolorists out there most everything he does is water color and some acyrlic. Here is his tutorial on materials and stretching paper. I have stretched paper many ways and this is the true way to do it without getting any warping what so ever.Stretching paper

Here is his tutrial on building up in water color. It might not be old skool tattoo designs but it applys everywhere.water color step by step

This is a good reference and look at his work he knows what he is doing along with some prestigious awards. Take what you can from this

Yeah he's a wicked artist, the way he shows each stage of the painting process is a real help for anyone wanting to learn watercolour.
I never knew how to stretch paper before reading this! Cheers for sharing mario/mark

Thanks mark,

There is some awesome work on that site.
Thats just what i needed to experiment with.
The only thing i don't get what is (gummed tape)?
Hope some one can tell, in another way, so that even i can understand it:-)
