hiya, if its a watercolour block, you dont take the page off until its painted, its done that way with wax to stop the paper stretching, have fun with it, i always used it for my watercolours,dawnx
I use a palette knife, and always pull it toward you as you move around the block, not into the block itself. Make sure the painting is completely dry before removing it.

YAY Dawn to the rescue. But still, once I get it painted how do I get that joker off the block? LOL does it get easier once the painting is done?

What about a long steel ruler with a box cutter? I have done this with a lot of success. Good luck and happy painting as “Bob” used to say!

let it dry through and then use a think letter opener, its a tricky job but worth taking the time over, have fun,dawnx
JRobin Whitley:

Thanks for the tip bev. Every one helps since Arches is a bit pricey and as a novice I don’t want to destroy it!
