Watercolor powder!

I've had a set of Brusho crystal pigments for a couple of years and I had never really used them. The couple of times I pulled them out, I didn't like the results. After playing with them in this class, I've decided I do like them!

I got the paper wet first and then added the powder. I ended up adding more water because the paper seemed to dry really fast. I used a brush to move the water around on the edges. I worked on a very large square block of Fluid brand paper, which is only glued on 2 sides. Next time I'll take it off the block and tape it down. It buckled and ran to the corners. I'm happy with the results and I'll try it again! I was much happier when I made marks on top!
