Building up colour
This activity will enable you to build up colour from plain water to a saturated paint mix.
- Start with a dry area of watercolour paper. Put a small amount of water into your palette and a dab of concentrated paint next to it.
- Pick up a bit of the clean water with your brush and paint a strip.
- Add a tiny bit of pigment into your water, and paint where you left off with the clear water. Rinse and pat your brush on a piece of cloth or paper.
- Repeat the process by adding a bit more paint to your water until you have a good transition from water to concentrated paint.
