Paint Texture Experiments in a Loose Abstract Watercolor

Paint a flowing abstract watercolour with me where I put into practice some of the textural effects I tried out in last Friday's watercolour experiments. In this project, I used plastic wrap, stamping, scratching lines and adding salt to create special effects in my painting.

[@Blahblahblahworlds]

Hard not see a plant pot with a leafy plant as the main focus.

[@LouDavis]

That’s probably what I’ll see every time now!

[@mell3749]

how did you make that stamp!!? you have inspired me so much 💜

[@LouDavis]

The stamp is just strips of craft foam glued to cardboard.

[@sedmed]

What type of tape do you use for the border that doesn’t tear the paper? Thank you!

[@LouDavis]

I use any cheap masking tape - if it’s too sticky, tape it to the table surface before sticking to your paper.

[@sedmed]

Thank you!@@LouDavis

[@heatherleighartistry]

I keep seeing that paper (?) with that decorative border. What is that, a type of paper or something else?

[@sedmed]

Looks like Arches…. Cover just turned back.

[@heatherleighartistry]

@@sedmed googled it. It’s a pad of paper - thank you!

[@LouDavis]

Yes, previous commenter is right, it’s an Arches watercolour block.

[@heatherleighartistry]

@@LouDavis ah, the “block” was the key. I see how that is slightly different. Very interesting. Thanks!
