STEPS
Prepare all necessary supplies.
Wear an apron – it can get messy.
Draw random lines with the wash – directly out of the bottle.
Use a watercolor brush to spread the paint around.
Use as many colors as you want.
You can spread the colors throughout the paper, or have a transition of colors.
Have your hand loose – do not try to "draw" anything specific.
Use watercolor brush again to spread some paint around.
But be careful – you want to have plenty of negative space (white paper).
Use a paper tower to blot the brush – you don’t want to manually mix the colors – if you overdo it – the color will turn brown.
Tilt the board to have extra drips form.
That’s what it should look like
Optional:
You can use a spray bottle with clear water over the dried paper to create extra effects.
Use a fine point Sharpie and carefully outline each white spot.
Take your time!!!!
When done – remove masking tape and mat the artwork!
