I know I'm not the person who made the work, but since I work with watercolors too I figured I could answer: use thick paper, the gramature recommended for watercolor is 300g. I've used gramature 200g too, but it gets a bit wavy.
You can also work with the paper completely taped to a table or some wood surface, this way it will only get a bit wavy on the center of the paper but the edges will be fine. Working with taped paper seems the best option to me so far.

Oh wow, thanks a lot for the suggestions!
What kind of tape would you reccomend? I'd just be nervous of tearing the papaer.

No problem! Uhmm I'm not from the US and don't know how they call it there, but it's this kind of tape: [link]
It is adhesive in one side only, and when you touch it the texture is similar to paper texture. It's not very strong in terms of the glue, but that's why it's perfect, it won't tear the paper when you remove it.
There's also a brown variant of the tape that is even better, the name in english is kraft paper tape: [link]

I think that's painter's tape. It matches your description too,
I'm surprised I didn't think of that beofre asking you haha~
Anyway, thanks again for your help!

I guess the trick is to use kinda thick paper

this started to get a little wavey while it was drying and I just put heavy stuff on the corners of the paper to keep from messing it up too badly

and thanks I plan on doing more watercolor junk
