ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #46:

This is an example of paper marbling. I used a thin tool to swirl patterns in the colors before transferring the paint to a prepared piece of bluish gray Canson Mi Tientes. It’s the paper color and the use of white paint that give it such a distinctive look – this is what the paper looked like before I marbled it:

Here’s the same blue and black paint on white paper:
