The application of
colored acrylic ink
to watercolor causes
a separation of the
wet area not unlike
adding oil to
vinegar or water in
salad dressing. The
resulting dispersion
of colors has a
unique appearance.
Other media can be
used as well
including
"Brusho," a unique
painting medium, a
transparent,
highly-pigmented
watercolour ink.
The result of using
these watercolor
alternatives is a
mixed media
creation.

Artists can be

artists, both past

artist's background,
journey, and
experiences can
shape their work.
For example, an
artist's early
experiences of the
visible world can be
deeply woven into
their subconscious
and carry over into
their creative
process. Also, basic

symmetry,

Removing paint from

re-wetting an area
of dried paint and
removing colour; a
painting technique
in it's own right,
not just a
correction method;
the basis of
subtractive
painting.Lifting
creates soft edges

When the tonal value

the tonal value of

edges of the object
