Pink Saturday Paints

I was recently reading a book on acrylic painting and I was surprised to find you can get a watercolor look with a specific technique. I'm not a foremost painter, I have my accents I can use and get by with. This sounds simple, wet paper (soaked) with 6 parts water to 1 part acrylic paint.

As the painting dries, you can add layers. For example: it has a damp stage where color will slightly run the outline.

I'm under the impression this is a quick method of creating beautiful works of art.

The book also talks about loading you brush properly, that hasn't changed.

I haven't attempted this kind of painting but I plan to. Cheaply comes to mind, no canvas as you really can't wet a canvas. Regular craft paints will do too!

This dolly tea party is to cute for words.

Here we see the driest point of painting, the last stage.

But look at the marvelous blending, effortless.

The end result is spectacular.
