Kneaded Eraser

This week's tip is very important and I can't tell you enough about it... Only use a kneaded Rubber eraser when erasing on watercolor paper. Don't use a hard rubber type eraser as it will most likely smear your work along with ruining your paper. Simple solution is to just just use a kneaded eraser when erasing on watercolor paper.

Clean your kneaded eraser by stretching and kneading it... so simple.

Even after you have painted on the watercolor paper you can use a kneaded eraser to take off the pencil lines through the paint!

Don't use a hard rubber eraser!
David

Don't use these hard rubber erasers on good watercolor paper, just say NO to those hard erasers.
