Mystery Technique

Mystery Technique #141

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #140:

Here’s another example of glazing, this time with acrylic inks. First I used a modified bristle brush to selectively wet the paper with irregular strokes of water; then I dropped in diluted magenta, blue and yellow, letting them mix in places to create a range of colors. After this layer dried, I repeated the process 2 more times, sometimes dragging the tip of a pipette through the wet paint to create thin lines. Next I painted any remaining bits of white paper with yellow. The final step was to cut the painting into business cards.
