Spatters and Splatters Matter!

The trick to get this gorgeous water spatter look is to "throw" the water down (using a brush or your wet fingers!) while the paper surface is wet with paint. After the paint dries a bit, just blot off the water with a paper towel to reveal a lighter color underneath the water painted area!

The water lifts and lightens the color underneath it.

Try adding a Color Wash Jewel or Ultra Color Wash Jewel over your painted paper surface and throw/spatter more water using a brush and flicking your wrist. Adding multiple layers of water paints and water splatters with drying in-between can create a depth of color and texture you will love!.
Mono printing

Pour or spray your HOT Jewels onto a non-porous surface (glass table top or smooth counter surface both work well) without 'mixing' up the colors. Press your watercolor paper or heavy card stock into the paint surface. Pick up the paper and dry with a heat gun. Place the paper down again into the painted surface making sure you have turned your paper in a different direction in order to allow other colors to layer over the original colors. You can repeat this mono printing technique as long as you dry in-between each "print". Work on either a number of card sized pieces of paper or play with a larger piece double your output!

Wet on Wet!
Spray or paint the paper surface with water. Using a brush apply a Hot Jewel color , lift and tilt the paper to run the paint color on the paper. Repeat this technique using a different color that is placed either next to the previous color or over it.

Paint details using the paint directly from the bottle with a brush.

Mix it up!
Try "mixing" directly on the paper surface by spraying a Hot Jewel over a Color Wash or Ultra Color Wash Jewel.

Create a background using the HOT Jewels and dry. Spray over any stencil materials or shapes with Color Wash or Ultra Color Wash Jewels to "mix up" your techniques.
