In this painting I have used a toothbrush to make the marks, and when finished whilst still wet, I have laid a sheet of kitchen roll on the left hand side an pressed lightly as if using blotting paper. I am left with slightly faded version of patterns on the right hand side.
In the final part of the exercise the sheet of paper was soaked in water before I made rectangle marks on it using a sponge the lift off here rather than just fading the mark has also locked it in place by lifting off not only the watercolour put also any excess water. On the right hand side the water colour has continued to bleed/spread into the surrounding paper so that the marks bare little resemblance to those that were initially placed on the paper.
