How to flatten paper - this is a really easy and quick way of sorting out cockled or warped watercolor paper.
No doubt we've all had it happen to us, you finish off a lovely painting, take it off the pad or board and find it is cockled or warped. Your immediate reaction is complete dismay, but worry not, I have one way of resolving the problem really easily and really quickly. You don't need any fancy equipment although some acid-free mount board would be useful. I hope you find this little tip helpful, feel free to share it with your art friends and groups.
