Steps:
1. Place one sheet of watercolor paper on a flat work surface and secure with lightweight masking tape.

5. Upon completion of the theorem design, seal with protective sealer and let dry per manufacturer instructions.
6. Following manufacturer directions, apply at least two coats of polyurethane to the painting.
