Several days ago I posted a watercolor exercise from the youtube channel maremismallart, watercolor staining technique (I think that’s what she calls it. It seems more like a “puddle method” to me) Wet the surface of the paper… apply watercolor, watch it run and creep and puddle. When it is dry, sketch an image into it. I LOVE this method. It is really fun and relaxing, and perfect when I can’t think of something to paint. (Also… it really shows off those creeping tendrilly attributes of my QoR paints.)

So I began with this:

Big lacy seahorse, coral, seaweed, three little strange looking fish. I also thought about a dragon, and a lady tending flowers… and aliens. What would you have drawn?
