It's been a while since we've used watercolours and in this class, we'll be creating both the background as well as the die-cuts with watercolour paper and either palette or liquid watercolours. Each time I have a play with watercolours I remember how much fun it is to watch the colours bleed and blend into the next colour and the wet on wet technique is so good for this. It means starting with a wet background (just wet with water) and then adding watercolour to the wet areas to get it to blend and spread. Of course, you can use watercolours on a dry background and paint with them, then spritz if you like and this will create a different effect. I certainly don't profess to be a watercolourist at all, but this medium's very nature means it can be a very loose style of colouring.
