How to pick the right size for what you want:
1/4 sheet & Deckle edge: Both work well for single subject pieces, a bird, flowers, etc. The smaller sized sheets have subjects that are the focus of the piece
What is deckle edge? A deckle edge is created when the paper is made, it’s the natural edge of the sheet rather than a cut edge. The deckle edge is uneven or rough (rather than a straight, cut edge) and the paper thins slightly.
1/2 sheet: This size is great for vertical triptychs or for panoramic views
Standard size: This is the size used for most of the calendar pieces
Full sheet: This is the recommended size for a dog in hammock painting. It’s large enough to have all the details of the dog in the hammock, along with the trees, flowers and ocean view. The original of Dog Days in Paradise is this size.
Elephant sheet: This size is great for large landscapes or underwater scenes to hang over couches or beds. Cruz Bay Overlook 2009 (see above) was painted on this size sheet.
