Graduated Wash – “Rainy Umbrella”Pro Tips: You can tell for sure that the paper is
dry because it is warm, or room temperature. If your
paper still feels cold – it’s still wet.
Test your paper with the back of your hand. There is
less oil than on your fingertips and skin oil will disco-
lour your paper over time.
Step 6. Go do something else for awhile and let
this dry.
You can dry it with a hair dryer. It’s a good second
choice when you’re in a pinch. It’s been my experi-
ence that the best results are when you can allow
the paint to dry on it’s own. It continues to move
and blend and create while it dries and the hair dry-
er interrupts that process.
Step 8. Paint graduated washes in each of the
umbrella sections. Working quickly while it’s wet.
If you want to deepen and intensive the colour, you
can drop in extra colour providing the section is still
wet and moving.
