Watercolor painting on vintage paper is a unique way to repurpose sheet music, newspapers, hymnals, or pages from an old book or dictionary. What a great way to honor what would otherwise be forgotten or discarded!

As a high school music teacher, friends would give me piles of old sheet music. I hated to throw them away, and began to experiment with creating watercolor paintings on these vintage sheets. I wondered:

• What supplies do I need?
• Is it actually possible to paint with watercolor on old pages?
• What techniques should I use to protect the paper?
• How can I create my own painting from start to finish?

After researching and practice (and more practice,) I've developed a formula to create vibrant and realistic watercolor paintings on any type of vintage paper! People are intrigued by paintings on old paper.  These are the most popular paintings that sell at the art shows I attend, and I'd like to share what I've learned with you!

Can I Sell or Exhibit my Painted Images from the Tutorials?

The tutorials are designed to teach you the technique to develop your skills, and should make up a portfolio for your own records. Copyright of the actual course images remain with Rebecca Rhodes, therefore the paintings should not be exhibited, sold, or reproduced as original work by the student without written consent; they can, however, be gifted to friends or family and should be labelled in the title as taken from a Rebecca Rhodes tutorial.

Should you find similar subjects, live or from photographs, you can use the techniques shown in the course to create an original piece for exhibition sale or reproduction. Following these guidelines should avoid any accusation of breach of copyright by the gallery or art exhibition curator.

It is advised that painters always credit Rebecca Rhodes when sharing any work derived from this site. See "Terms of Purchase" for more information.
