Hints and Tips

1. Wet on Dry Turn a drawing into a painting! Create your picture using dry Aquatone then work over it lightly. 2. Scraping Add textural interest by scraping colour directly from the stick onto pre-wetted paper. 3. Dry on Wet Dampen the paper first using a wet brush or sponge, then draw directly into the wetted area to create bright strokes of colour. 4. Quick Colour Remove the paper sleeve and use Aquatone on its side to create broad strokes or break into pieces for quick, easy lay down of colour.
