Rubber Cement
Today I taught a group of kids ranging in age from 7 to 17 some fun watercolor tricks and techniques.
The most popular by far was the straw blowing (taking a staw and blowing the wet paint in all directions).
A close second and third were salt, and rubber cement.
Sadie got to sit in on the class. She played around a bit with crayon and rubber cement.
She put a LOT of rubber cement down, so we had to wait until we got home for it to all dry. I wasn't too optimistic that her painting would turn out well.
When the rubber cement was all dry, we did a wash of solid plain blue watercolor over the top of her rubbercement, she also had some light painting underneath the rubber cement, so when it was all said and done, her light painting sits under the blue one and comes out through the resisted areas.
They actually turned out really well!
