Since it was process art, when she asked if she could display these in her room, I strictly forbade it and lectured her about just being in the moment. I did about a 1:1 ratio of paint to water for the other colors, but more like 2:1 for the purple.įen played around with dots-drawing and tilting the paper to get the watercolor to travel along the surface.Īfter she had most of the papers covered, I gave her a small bottle of 70% alcohol and she dripped that on areas of the watercolor to see how the color breaks up where the alcohol hits it. We used red, blue, yellow and purple, and purple was by far the most concentrated. I placed different types of paper all over the top of the foam core, and let Fen drip and splatter squeeze bottles of watercolor paint on them. I suppose if you have a big, shallow plastic container this would eliminate a lot of the floor cleanup… Yes, our fingers are both still stained, and yes, I had to clean up lots of watercolor from our floor.įirst I laid out a giant piece of foam core board. I bought some liquid watercolors recently and have played with them a bit, but I wanted to let Fen play with these in a way you really can’t with solid watercolors: by dripping and splattering them. (See the links to everyone else’s experiences at the bottom.) Process art is not something we do a lot of here, so I was intrigued and excited to join some other bloggers in experimenting with process art in a certain theme and posting about it on the same day.
