So how was your experiment on colors? I hope you all enjoyed the lessons so far. If you all enjoyed the lessons, I know that you would love this new lesson.

We are still in water color techniques using the transparent method. In this lesson you would need your Prang water color set for transparent water color painting, a thick brush, a thin brush, water in a small water container and a water color paper. The water color paper is much thicker than the bond paper, an oslo paper or a sketch pad. It is also textured. You can buy this at any art store or a nearby bookstore.

There are four techniques that I would like to share. One is the wet-on-wet technique. The second one is the wet-on-dry technique. The third one is the dry-on-wet technique and the last one is the dry-on-dry technique. Maybe you now have an idea what is this next exercise.

Divide the water color paper into four equal parts and write down the name of each technique. Wet your thick brush with water and wet the “wet-on-wet” portion of the water color paper with your brush. With the bristles of the brush still wet, apply some paint on the bristles and spread them on the “wet-on-wet” portion of the water color paper. What are your observations?
