How to Make a Watercolor Block

Hello All:

I was poking around on another USK web site because I am going to visit that city and wanted to hook up with their meetings.  I found this post on how to make a watercolor block.  You know, that expensive pad where all the papers are bound into one block that you work on and then peel the sketch from the rest of the pages.

Here is a really neat and inexpensive way to accomplish he same format with a sheet of watercolor paper and a glue gun.

Have fun...make one and bring it to Jersey City for the waterfront sketching at 2 PM on Thursday Sept 7, 2017.  See the previous post for details.
