I will try to find better paper.. this was in my sketchbook which could hold water somewhat.. I enjoyed not knowing how it will work and then when i felt the depth of the water emerging and the waves with the simple brush strokes it was so refreshing to see and experience... Thank you so much, Samantha! 🥰 Thank you Skillshare! ❤️

Finally got the fluffy effect in the center one too. Squinting and practice matters! 😉
