Fun Watercolor Technique

This is a really fun technique that I learned somewhere along the way to create interesting textures in water color paintings:

You will need some water color paper, water color paints, a paint brush, and plastic wrap.

 

To start you are going to apply the watercolor paint on the paper. The more water you add to the paint the better this technique will work. 

 Once you have applied the paint you want to place a piece of plastic wrap over the wet paint. It will automatically cling onto the paint. You can scrunch up the plastic wrap in different ways to create different textures or lines.

 

Once the paint has dried you can remove the plastic wrap and you will have your finished product. This technique is really fun to use when painting skies, or want an interesting background in your piece.
