DIY deckle edge 🌿 How I tear my paper for decorative edges
Hello beautiful huemans!
Today I'm sharing my method for tearing watercolor paper. I've gotten a handful of dm's on Instagram, asking how I "give my paintings a rough edge" so here we are!
There are a number of ways to tear/deckle edges, many that include water (which I opt out using for my watercolor and printmaking papers to save time, create a rougher edge & avoid potential paper damage) So I wanted to show you guys my approach, as well!
