Paper & Crayon Batik

Inspired by Dhiyana's Paper Batik Heart, I tried batik painting  on paper.

The steps are so simple.

1. Draw the desired design on the paper and colour it  with crayons.

2. Once the colouring is finished, crumple the paper.

3. Smooth the crumpled paper.

4. Repeat this process 3 or 4 times.

5. Do the crumpling and smoothing   out carefully as the paper becomes very soft and tends to be torn apart.

6. Once the paper is smoothed out, colour the picture with watercolor.

7. The cracks created on crumpling the paper is filled with watercolors and the places where we have used the crayons, those crayons resist the watercolors.

Here is the outcome of the above said process.

 

Thank you Dhiyana for sharing this wonderful technique.

Doodling with Marker and Watercolors

Here is the doodle which I drew with a black marker pen.

Then I colored the designs with the watercolors.

 

 Here is the outcome after it has been painted with watercolors.

Water color cards

These are the watercolor cards created with two different techniques.

Card - 1

Effect of Lemom Juice on Water colors

This card was painted with water colors. The painting was allowed to dry completely.Then,  some  lemon juice was used to add some patterns to the painting.

The Lemon juice bleaches the  water color creating some dark patterns. This effect can be viewed better on using dark / bright colors .

Card - 2

Watercolor - Straw Painting

A Simple fireworks card created by blowing the watercolor paint  with a straw.
Dip the brush in water and  take the watercolor paint in the brush without discarding the excess water in the brush.
Then randomly drip the colors on the paper. The paint should be little bit runny for this work. This will cause small puddles on the paper.
Now take a straw and blow the paint puddles. This will create different designs on paper.

Crayon Resist Water Color Painting

Materials Needed:

White Crayon
Water Colors

Method:

Draw a picture / any text of your choice with white Crayon.
Take the  water color and paint over the crayon drawing.
Now the Crayon sketch gets revealed so beautifully.

We can try with other colored crayons too.

Salty Watercolor Painting

Procedure:

Draw the outline of the picture of your interest in a paper.

Moisten the paper with  water with the help of  your paint brush. But, avoid creating puddles of water in the paper.

Paint the picture with the water color.

Now, sprinkle some salt on the wet painting.

Let the painting dry. It may take some time.

Once the painting is dry, shake the excess salt off.

Now the painting is done.
