This technique is so easy to
do and can turn out beautifully. Try it with different types of
paper.
F&W Acrylic Artists' Ink or thinned acrylics or watercolors
sketch paper
1. Take your paper and
scrunch it up into a tight ball.
2. Hold it under runing water
until it's fairly wet. Squeeze it gently.
3. Slowly and carefully open
the paper up.
4. Take a soft brush and make
a wash of color across the page. I used purple and blue. The creases
will soak up some of the ink and change color.
4. Let dry.
5. You can use a warm iron to
gently flatten the papers if you like.
