we just had a mini challenge on our forum, inspired by this youtube clip to make a messy background using paints etc.
This is mine, I started with a piece of card approximately 8 inches square
I started with a thick layer of gesso, which I texture with my paint brush and then doodled into with the end of the brush
when it was dry I applied watercolours
then I applied some more.
then I dry brushed it with black acrylic, and applied some dots, with the end of my brush.
I don't know whether it's any good,but it was fun. The next thing is to use it for something.
