what you need

Mixing Colours

Mix each colour with water in separate containers. Continue as described in chapter 2 / “Mixing STOCKMAR Paints”.

step 2

Dipping colours

One after another, dip brush into each of the 3 colours and let big drops of paint drop onto the paper (diagr.1).

Be sure to wash out your paintbrush with clear water after using each colour.

step 3

Blow the paint

Mix each colour with water in separate containers. Continue as described in chapter 2 / “Mixing STOCKMAR Paints”.

step 4

Colour experiment

f you want to do more work on this little colour experiment, be sure to first let the paint dry thoroughly after blowing. Then you can repeat the drops and blowing: further branches and colour mixing will result (diagr. 3).

Further suggestions

Open spaces

The open spaces can be painted with a contrasting colour or the existing colours can be painted over so that they shimmer through and create a layered effect (diagr. 4).

TIP

If you try this with smaller formats you can create pretty postcards, tablecards or miniatures. The miniatures look even better in a matching coloured frame.
