The techniques I tell you about is also the techniques that I have used when painting. The paintings you find here is the same paintings that you allready can see in my blog "Gallery".
This page is allways under construction. So wellcome back to have a peek now and then!

The use of plastic:
(Cling film)
(Cling film)
The material you need when you want to try using plastic during watercolourpainting. The plastic I use is the same I use when I wrap it around food to keep it fresh.
(To be continued!)

The use of maskingtape:
I did the same with the tape on the bottom stripes, put some colour between the two tapes, and lifted some of the colour emediatelly with a cloth, so the the stripes wouldn´t get too perfectly drawn.
_____________________________________ The use of salt:
The best moment to put the salt on the paper, is when it has just lost it´s shine from the water. I´ve learnt that if I put it on too early, it gets stucked on the paper and is hard to rub off. Leave to dry properly before you rub it off!
I have been testing my watercolours with salt. It´s good to work out a palett like this with all your colours and how they react to the salt, cause they react very differently compared to eachother.
