I recently returned from India and want to mail some watercolors I did to friends there as thanks for their hospitality. Considering the ways of the US and Indian postal systems, I think rolling them and sending them in a sturdy tube will be safest, but I have to idea if that's will work with watercolors. Does anyone know if that would damage the paintings?

Roll them with the work on the inside, the opposite of rolling canvas. Cover them with plastic inside the tube to protect them from dampness and water. Include instructions for the people at the other end to put them between large blotting paper and press them overnight to flatten them. The tubes will protect them well.

Marilyn has good points, the only thing I would add is that you may want to consider using, as your mailing cylinder, a strong plastic plumbing pipe three or four inches in diameter. You could cap the ends and this would give you added protection. You may be able to get, from your pharmacy some of their surplus packets that are used to absorb moisture of some pills during shipping. A few of these will help keep the moisture low. As soon as you get them put them into a small jar so they don't absorb the surrounding moisture in the air and become ineffective for your purpose.
take care: keith
