| definition | Taping a sheet of watercolor paper to a rigid support on all sides to prevent buckling and warping; keeps the surface flat during painting and ensures the finished work dries flat. Any paper under 300lb will warp if unstretched; stretching is unnecessary with synthetic papers or a watercolor block. |
