O Christmas Tree

I decided to do something a little different for me and use a music sheet for the background of my painting. I tried printing out the music on my regular watercolor paper but it wouldn't go through the printer. I ended up using regular copy paper. I will try another like this soon but see if I can find a better paper that works.

  1. That's really cool, Joan! I think if you feed the watercolor paper in from the back instead of in the regular paper tray, that might work better.

    1. Thanks for the suggestion. I am just going to try a thinner watercolor paper. I just need to cut it down to the right size.

  2. This worked out quite well from this side of the computer - lol. But, I know what painting on printer paper is like - a challenge!. Either way - great job Joan!

  4. Looks like the ink on the music stayed put. I think the ink on my printer would run all over.
