WATERCOLOUR

Paper brought from China by Marco Polo to Amalfi coast

90lb

Soak soft brush first, to prevent pain to get in brush, making it easier to clean later

Keep paper from curling by using four sides with butcher tape

Masking-cut tape, friscate, rubber cement- leaves white

Leave white between colours, or they will blend

PLAN!!!!!

Light to dark colours

Put drop in each cake colour to start

Use cheap brush to mix colour, expensive to paint

Bleeds

Try watercolour pencils

Toothbrush splatter à la Andrew Wyeth

Transfer paper- add in colour after the fact
