How to scan watercolor paintings.


There are a few ways that you can scan your watercolor paintings in order to preserve them.


The first way is to use a flatbed scanner. This is the most common and straightforward way to scan any type of painting. All you need to do is place the painting on the scanner bed and then close the lid. The scanner will do the rest of the work for you.


The second way you can scan watercolor paintings is by using a digital camera. This method is not as common as scanning with a flatbed scanner, but it will still get the job done.


To use a digital camera, simply place the painting in front of the camera and take a picture. Make sure that the lighting is good so that you get a clear image of the painting.


The third and final way to scan watercolor paintings is by using an artist’s proof scanner. This is a more expensive option, but it will give you the best results. An artist’s proof scanner will allow you to scan your painting in high resolution without losing any detail or color quality.
