Exercise: Random marks

1st Indigo flick of paint, in all the marks they are darkest around the edge, all most like the and outline has been added.

Second application of paint flicks/drips applied using Raw Sienna, a lot lighter than the Indigo so you don't get the same variations of tone coming through in the marks that you do with the darker colour.

Where the drips hit the dried indigo paint the rather than rest on top the paint beings to merge (indigo marks being reactivated), creating a greenish blue.

Painted over half the sheet with a thin wash of Alizarin Crimson, the Indigo marks have smudged in some places, moving in the direction of the brush. There is also a lot of bleeding around the Indigo marks with the Raw Sienna marks being more permanent, less affected by the Crimson wash.
