I love working in watercolour, it is so unpredictable and random no 2 pieces will ever be the same.
The effect is created using watercolour pigment ( Dr PH Martin Hydrus ) rubber stamps and good quality watercolour paper. I have worked on rough and smooth papers to show how the paper effects the over all finish.
- Flood you paper with clean water
- Using a wash brush add a small amount of diluted pigment to the wet paper and watch the magic begin!

- Apply a highly pigmented wash of colour onto your Stamp
- Stamp onto your background ( Background must be dry before you stamp )

| smooth paper |

rough paper
- Spritz the imagery to create a bleed in the pigment .

Now it is up to you. The technique will take practice, learning how watercolours behave is key, but I think the effect is well worth the effort.
Masterpiece Linda! Love the watercolour effect!
