| WATERCOLOR SPATTERING |
Teresa
Spattering is a great way to depict nearby surface details such as gravel, pebbles, sand,weeds or
texture on a rock. It is limited to the landscape where details are more visible.
You can use an old toothbrush,the spatters are small and even in size,but if you want something
different use a Hog Hair Fan Brush. It is actually an oil painting brush, Hog hair is much stiffer than
synthetic versions. You'll need that stiffness to snap paint off the brush and onto the paper.
You can splatter three different ways.
1. Spatter with clear water into a dark area, semi dry area. the result is a series of lighter, soft edged
spots.
2. Spatter with paint into a moist area. The result is darker but with a soft edged, defused spots
3. Spatter paint into a dry area. The results are definited, hard edged spots with a directional quality.
To avoid splattering into areas where you do not want them place a paper towel over that area, for
instance the sky.
Give this a try, but as with anything you can overdo it.
Try this on a old painting or scrap paper before attempting it on actual work.
