A year ago this demo, 7.5x11, was done for WetCanvas' Watercolor forum in the Learning Zone. First you get a large brush, stand on a chair and squeeze drops from a round brush to fall onto the paper laying flat. Then develop around the flowers, foliage, stems and branches in layers painting negative shapes.Friday, March 12, 2010
Splats - negative painting in layers

How interesting...was the paper wet or dry? Were the only drops the center of the flowers or 5 drops, one color?
Nice Kay but to us klutzes we may need to lay the painting on the floor & drip color. You are giving us nice warm Spring color & flowers. Thank you
Linda
Yes, drip the splats onto dry paper on a flat surface, either the floor or a low table.
