WATER COLOUR TECHNIQUE

I was explaining to some of the group at Hempton this morning how to use cling film to create a fascinating water colour texture. Unfortunately there was no cling film so I showed them as best as I could with ordinary plastic instead which obviously does not work as well, but served as a diagrammatic way to indicate what to do ....

so here is an example, two photos, as the painting is long and thin so you might be able to imagine how it fits together, and if you look closely you can see the underlying texture and pattern overlaid and worked into with painting and pen work.
