HOW TO WATERCOLORS THAT ROCK!!!!

So I picked up Earth Safe Finishes Colorants and I created some 'watercolors' that were both light and breezy and deep and rich. Take a look at what you can do! It's easy and fun.

I was at Art Serve Gallery in Broward County, Florida for an unveling of a large wall piece in clay done by a local artist. It was a nice evening. The Broward Water Color Society had a representative there and she demonstrated something that was easy and fun.

1. Take a piece of watercolor paper and spray it down with water until it's really wet.

2. Lay down coffee filters that are torn in half (OR more if you choose). Spray again until wet

3. Untwine / unravel twine. Pull the pieces apart and lay them down on the paper - continue to
spray water until wet.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get the design you want.

5. With art brush (I like a flat 1/2 inch for this) add ESF Colorants in the colors of your choice

6. Allow colors to spread out - manipulate with brush

7. Continue layering water and color

8. Place piece in sun to dry

9. Remove filter(s) and twine completely.

Have fun!
