Abstract Watercolor Painting
by JuliannaKunstler.com
concentrated liquid watercolors, diluted 1/4 |
canvas paper, board, masking tape |
watercolor brush | fine point Sharpie |
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. | |
Repeat the steps with another color. Work fast - you don't want the paint to dry. |
|
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! |
