Watercolor Resist Technique


First, randomly mark all over a heavy weight piece of
cardstock with crayons. (Yes, you can use lighter weight
paper, but heavier is better, watercolor paper is best.)



Next, get your watercolors nice and juicy with water, and then


brush paint all over paper. Allow it to dry,


and you have some wonderful background paper!
