If you haven't tried Dave Brethauer's
Paper Napkins technique, you really should give it a go! Here is
the link to his video . . .
Watercoloring on paper napkins is a great exercise for the
anally-retentive among us. Perfect
control is not the name of the game here. The napkins are extremely absorbent and will
wick a lot of the color out from your brush.
Tell yourself to just relax and go with it. Experiment with wetting the paper first and
then coloring, or try vice versa. I
found it better to use a really wet paintbrush rather than my waterbrush -
slightly more control over the intensity of the color that way.
My next post will show the same technique with different
dies . . .
