ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #136:

Fun with Claybord continues! First I took a big brush and wet the surface, which created a series of irregular puddle shapes. Next I dropped diluted acrylic ink into the puddles. After the outside edges of the shapes dried, I wiped the liquid paint away from the centers, leaving the darker outlines. I repeated the process several times to create layered transparent shapes.

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #135:

You can create interesting linear effects with a Kemper Fluid Writer on Claybord! First I diluted white acrylic ink and used a pipette to fill the cup of the Fluid Writer. Next I removed the cap and tested the results on a scrap of paper before using the tool to make a series of consistent white lines on the Claybord. After this layer dried, I added multiple glazes of diluted acrylic ink.

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #130:

Fun with Yupo continues! I wet the paper first, then added diluted acrylic ink. Next I dropped in isopropyl alcohol, which repelled the wet paint to create all sorts of mysterious effects. As the water evaporated, concentric dark edges formed around some of the shapes.
