Lost my paid job againā¦ Every 1,5 to 2 years I lose my job for different reasons. Companies
go broke, kids grow up, I got a burn out and now I don't even know what happenedā¦ So much
for the security of having a āsteadyā paid job.
I must confess Iām getting sick and tired of starting over and over again and again.
This way Iām just really busy finding jobs, learn the thing and finding a new job again instead of
focussing on my art and getting somewhere with thatā¦
Next to that my art is going slow, I hardly sell anything and get even less commissions than
that.
Now Iāve been thinkingĀ about starting printing classes from my home which is also my studio.
Trying to figure out how many hours I should start teaching. Trying to figure out how many
people I can seat. Looking at the place now I think 7 maximum. I will be needing chairsā¦
Any thoughts and/ or tips??

My watercolour 'Toad with Cherry Blossom Petals' was the first watercolour I did on paper
that I mounted on panel.Ā Read my article Mounting Paper on WoodĀ on that.
This time I'm using a 12 mm thick MDF panel. As for now I taped the sides and gessoed the
front. Next is sanding the surface, remove any dust and glue the watercolour paper to the
panel.
When you mount paper on wood/ MDF there should be a protective layer of gesso between
the wood and paper because the acidic properties of wood will destroy the paper.
Also read the very elaborate blogpost byĀ Kelly McKernanĀ on mounting paper onto panel.
Her post was a great help.
