Lily And Thistle | Watercolor Displayed on Wood Block Trimming Excess Edges

Close overhead view of a person using large red-handled scissors to cut around the edge of a colorful geometric watercolor quilt star painted on thick white paper. The artwork fills most of the left side of the image and is made from adjoining pointed and angular sections in green, light green, teal, blue, purple, pink, red, orange, and yellow. The scissors are positioned along the upper-right edge of the paper while the person’s right hand holds the red handle. On the white tabletop in the background are a red-and-black brayer, a clear glass jar containing cloudy pink rinse water, a dark-lidded container, a slim dark paintbrush or tool, and two small white-framed pieces of colorful artwork near the top edge. The image documents the trimming stage of preparing a watercolor painting for mounting to a wood block.

Overhead process photograph from a Lily & Thistle watercolor mounting tutorial showing a geometric watercolor star being trimmed from its sheet of watercolor paper with red-handled scissors. The multicolored painting includes green, teal, blue, purple, pink, red, orange, and yellow geometric sections. Art and mounting supplies are scattered across the white worktable, including a red brayer, pink-tinted rinse water, paintbrushes or tools, and containers of art medium.
