This proves that it doesn't take days to have fun painting. I did this small painting in about 20 minutes working wet in wet. I caught the essence of a snow scene but certainly not the details. Timing is everything. The more you work in this manner the easier it gets. If the paper is too wet the tree shapes will melt into the background. If the paper is too dry you won't have the lost edges that make this technique so lovely.Thank you for visiting this blog. I am an expressive watercolorist. I love pure watercolors, but I also create many mixed media pieces using collage, acrylics, and mono printing. I love negative painting and many of my friends say I paint "on the other side." This is very true in a deeper sense as professionally I am a spiritual medium and really do connect with the other side. See more of my work at http://www.janehalliwell.com

Wet on Wet Paintings
This proves that it doesn't take days to have fun painting. I did this small painting in about 20 minutes working wet in wet. I caught the essence of a snow scene but certainly not the details. Timing is everything. The more you work in this manner the easier it gets. If the paper is too wet the tree shapes will melt into the background. If the paper is too dry you won't have the lost edges that make this technique so lovely.
