Watercolor Emotions

 

Supplies: watercolor paint, saran wrap, rubbing alcohol, salt, paper towel, oil pastel, watercolor paper, masking tape

Techniques that I used was oil pastels, alcohol drops, blotting with a paper towel, dripping watercolor, plastic wrap, and salt. To get the clean lines I used masking tape on the watercolor paper. It helps if you put some line on the tape first (like from your pants) so the watercolor paper doesn't rip when you take it off. The bottom center is where I did the plastic wrap and that turned out great, but I had to wait for the watercolor to completely dry before removing the plastic wrap. My inspiration was emotions. I did confused, anger, tired, sad, excited, and happy. Watercolor is hard for me but experimenting with the different techniques helped me feel more comfortable with watercolor paints.
