WHAT WE DID IN CLASS
Creating watercolor patterns on paper by using two other methods; (a) adding sprinkles of alcohol to the wet watercolor surface (b) using an old credit card/plastic card to shift the paint around. |

| A Painting Demonstration Salt sprinkled unto the wet watercolor paper was used to create the flower blossoms. The rocks in the foreground were created by using a plastic card to shift the wet paint aside, exposing some of the paper beneath. |

I remember the first time I went up NY state.
“In a moonlit field at night”
Method: crayon around moon and stems. Salted green field near horizon. Went in and removed paint with paper towel for flowers.
#2: I tried a different approach (more controlled for me). Layered 3 glazes light to dark. When almost dried went in with a water solvable fine tipped marker.
-“First time I ever saw a lily was upstate on the side of the road”
#3 - I tried wet on wet with 2 analogous colors (from my limited palette). After it dried, it reminded of some algae-like plants I saw by the side of a lake so I went in and drew with a black marker.
