Just thought I'd share a little tutorial for ya today! Wet on wet watercolor! I LOVE to play with watercolors this way.
Just a cheap-o set from wal-mart.
Wet the paper with lots of water.
Wet the brush with water and paint and just touch it to the paper and it just bleeds or wick, what ever you want to call it, I just love to watch it! Weird I know.
Add more colors and watch them blend and bleed or wick together! Add more water as you go if needed to keep the paper wet. Keep your brush pretty drippy sometimes too.
Then use salt. I had this on hand so it's what I used.
Sprinkle some in your hand and sprinkle it on the paper.
Especially in the puddles of water and paint. The salt soaks it up.
Let it dry or you can use a heat gun to speed it up, but I like to let it do it's own thing. That's why I do this before I go to bed and when I wake up ,I have a nice surprise!
Then you scrape off the salt and you get this.
And this! So fun! Now go make some art people! We need something perty to look at!
