| Watercolor (could do the same with acrylic). I wet the paper and dropped the color, let it dry. This is for the dragonfly. I have transferred the drawing onto the paper. I transferred the outline and some of the details on the body and head. I will draw the lines on the wings (some of them) with ink. |

| Watercolor (could do the same with acrylic). I wet the paper, dropped in color, placed the plastic wrap on top and scrunched it until I got shapes I liked. |

| Acrylic (could do the same with watercolor). I wet the paper, dropped in color, placed the crumpled wax paper on top and placed a book to hold it down. |

| Watercolor (could do the same with acrylic). I wet the paper, dropped in color, and when the paper was not a puddle and still a little shiny I dropped in salt in those areas. I used bot table salt and sea salt. The table salt is the tiny textures and the sea salt has the larger texture. |

| Watercolor (would do the same with acrylic). This painting will start as a monochromatic painting. For the petal I worked with damp paper and dropped in color (in the dark areas) and guided it. On the buds I worked dry and pulled the color out. On the background I worked very wet and let the color move. The purpose here is to learn to work with the various wetness of the paper and to focus on value painting. |
