Chapter 4 Coloured Papers








I started off by doing loads of papers with spent dye, (the first 12 sheets shown) which is good and runny.I also used a fine brush and on some a round sponge dipped in contrasting colour and applied to the wet sheet.  The next two pages are red acrylic paint with bubble paper pressed into the wet paint and next to it a sheet splattered with blue ink, which is very pale. The next  8 sheets show what happened whenI got quite carried away one afternoon and spend ages using the dye on a lot of white hand towels, which came out well and gave me many many sheets for future use.  The last three above are done with brusho on heavyweight paper.



The scanned pages from my sketchbook are (middle one) crumpled tissue which has been glued down with watered down PVA. I used Brusho on the other two lots directly on the pages.
