| Wet on wet. I transferred the drawing. For the first pass of watercolor I wet the paper, dropped in color and tilted the paper upright to let the color flow. I let this dry. Then I did little wet on wet sections in the painting. I wet the smaller shapes and dropped in the color allowing it to mingle. The colors I have used are a mixed bright green (prussian, aureolin, rich green gold) and a mixed reddish purple (quin rose, ultramarine blue, a touch of green) and rich green gold. |

| Pouring. I attached my paper to a stiff surface with rolled tape on the back of the paper. I used jars of color thinned with water - yellow, a mixed reddish purple and a mixed orange. For the first pass I sprayed the paper, poured the purple and yellow moving the paper around so the color could flow. I continued to spray as needed to move the color. If your piece has some whites, save those with masking before you pour. After this was dry I used masking to save some of the light color from the original pour. Then I poured again using the purple, yellow and orange in the same manner as the first pour. After that was dry I used a mixed dark brown and a mixed tan color to start the pine cone painting. I left the masking until after this round of painting. I will remove it after this round is complete and dry. |
