Question: Eric, is it possible to rewet a partially completed painting and roll off excessive moisture from the painting surface with the diaper? I wish to re-establish the damp paper conditions I started out with.
Eric: Yes, gently spritz both sides of the completely dry, unfinished watercolor painting, and roll the diaper over the painted surface to remove excess water. I have found the image to remain undisturbed, or if even a few dabs of heavy pigment are picked up, the change is insignificant.
