Hi Dennis,
I am just wondering, why the picture we got for class seems to be backwards of the one shown online?
Also, do you always leave that much room around your watercolors? Seems like a waste of very expensive paper, but I am new to this media, so not sure why.

Sue,
The instructions say you can enlarge the subject if you wish. I have found that you can enlarge it to 150% and still use a 9" x 12" sheet.

Nice work, Carol. Did Dennis say what kind of tree that is? It's really nice.

Sue, I'll tell you the reason for the white border.
The sheet I use is 16" x 12" which is also a standard frame size.
I mark 60mm off on each side for the white border.
For the mat surround I cut the board the size of the watercolour paper (16" x12") I then cut the matboard to leave a 50mm surround.
The framing of the painting is so easy from now on, because when I add the mat to the frame and then the picture and then the backing board I don't have the worry of trying the centralize the painting - everything fits perfectly - leaving me with a nice 10mm white strip between the picture and the mat board.
Normally to get this effect I would have had to us 2 matboards plus the trouble of trying the centralize the painting.
With this method I can swap one painting for another in minutes
It is also easy to swap frames as well.
