How do you remove wrinkles from a watercolor painting without damaging the painting?

Pressing a watercolor:To remove wrinkles without damaging a painting, you will need a sponge, water, a large piece of absorbent cardboard, a large piece of plexiglass (available at a glass repair shop) and some weights.Turn the watercolor paper over on a clean and dry surface. Use a clean, damp sponge to wet the back side of the paper until it is moist, stopping 1/2 inch from each side. turn the painting right side up and place onto cardboard. Cover with plexiglass and press with weights (I use heavy books). Leave for several days or up to a week.The moisture will slowly transfer to the cardboard, and the painting will be flat and ready to frame.

What is the difference between mylar paper and transfer paper?

Mylar vs. TransferMylar is not a paper. It is more closely related to acetate. Although you can buy different gauges of acetate, generally mylar is heavier and used for a multitude of things. Tranfer paper, on the otherhand, is used to accept an image through a copying or printing technique using special inks for adhesion. The printed side is a mirrored image of the original art. When it is applied to the receiving element (like a t-shirt) the image is transferred in its' original appearance.Do you remember the little houses at Christmas time with the lights inside and the shiny paper used as windows? That's what mylar is like. transfer paper has a rough kind of surface & comes in a multitude of colors to transfer a design onto a surface for say, to paint or do needlepoint. You can get transfer paper at Michaels or Joann fabrics.

Why does paper have rough and smooth sides?

Paper has a rough and a smooth side because before paper is really paper, it is a fluid paste. This paste is spread in a thin layer across a very very fine wire screen which allows it to dry on both sides evenly. The top of the liquid paper forms a perfectly flat, smooth surface, as any resting liquid does. The bottom side is slightly roughed by the texture of the wire mesh.

Definition of your side of the fence?

Well many fences are made with panels overlapping laths which have a rough and a smooth side (the rough side is the one where the supporting structure of the panels is visible). The convention is that if, on the deeds of the land, maintenance of the fence is your responsibility (you own it) then you erect the fence such that the neighbour sees the smooth side (out of courtesy). The fence therefore physically divides a piece of land between the ownership of two people and "your side of the fence' is the side with the land which you own. Further depending on who owns the fence your side of the fence could be rough or smooth.
