One thing I like to do after my watercolors dry, is to paint water on top of the pigment, and blot it off with a napkin. It creates a similar look to batik (wax resist). I particularly like the technique in this sketch of belugas. Notice the dots in the shadows on the whales, the zig-zaggy lines under their chins.
Thank you, friends at the Pie Place, for the use of your card racks!
