Paint Dabbed On Wet 300gm Paper

Posted on Jun 6, 2014 by caroleparkes

Have you ever tried wetting your paper and then dabbing on random colour. What I’m showing below is an experiment in this style of painting. I’ve used acrylic paint on miniature-sized paper and worked on a few of them which I’ll be posting later. In one, the resulting blend of colours reminded me of a fairy looking into a flower, so I then emphasised what I saw and below are the results. Painting in this size is fun, amazingly quick and economic too.

This is the result of my dabbed paint on wet paper. What can you see in it? I saw a fairy bending over a flower.

This is after I emphasised the image I saw.

This was after I’d done some more work on the image. The image only measures 1.5″ x 2.5″

Why don’t you have a go at this and post your stepped results, not forgetting to add the link here.

My husband calls me a butterfly because I flit from one hobby to another. Apart from being a wife for 52 years, a mother of three sons, and a grandmother, I'm also an author, genealogist, amateur artist, a lover of most needlecrafts, and occasional poet. Of the above, my most enduring interest has been writing and I hope to be doing it well into old age.
