Today was a fun day. Last week’s adult education group prepared some samples of different watercolour effects but they were still wet when they left (below), so today we had the big reveal! It’s always exciting and these techniques often have that WOW factor!
We used Winsor & Newton Cotman half pans onto Bockingford watercolour paper. We stretched the paper first onto boards and used masking tape to define the separate spaces.


These effects are so cool! I’ve tried the salt technique before, but I’ve never seen rice used in this way. Very interesting!
It works well with acrylic paints too
I will definitely try it, thanks
