ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #139:

You can create luminous color mixtures by glazing on Arches cold pressed watercolor paper! First I wet the paper and then painted a delicate layer of Daniel Smith Hansa Yellow Medium. After the yellow layer dried, I rewet the entire piece of paper with a soft brush to avoid disturbing the paint and selectively added Winsor & Newton Permanent Rose for the second layer. When that layer was completely dry, I wet the paper again before painting touches of Daniel Smith French Ultramarine and Winsor Blue (Green Shade).
