For my following painting I started with a loosely rose main lines painting, and before completely dry I flooded it with water and blotted without scrubbing very much, and using only a soft brush, so as not to damage the paper. I did not use fitch scrubbers. they damage the paper so that it is hard to paint over it. (Sap green, prussian blue and quinacridone gold, the yellows and magenta the hardest to lift. The easiest were the siennas, orange, and both cobalt and ultramarine blue---washing out to pure White). The others left a slight tint, but not enough to be bothersome unless you want a pure white.
Previous test was done on Strathmore 140 cp. the paper i use most often. but you'll find that each lifts differently.
The rose main and only color, I used it was "Rose Madder from Winsor & Newton"
So the steps just for the rose color are as follow:
1.- Paint the rose main lines with a bliste round brush in a loosely way (watch and take care of White and/or lighty spots on it)
2.- Flooded it with wáter and take advantage to lift paint from it
3.- you´ll see that color rose is now lighter but still defined in some way
4.- After completely dry, paint again just the edges in shadow with same color (now the color is deeper on that zones but nevertheless is blending with light tone underpainting of the same color
5.- This part is to integrate 3 tones in the painting (same color lighter, neutral and deeper) using a tootbrush to rub over the paper and get the lighter tones on it.- I wanted to add additional White color to make stronger impact, in which case needs to be added within the central whitest zones and lightly arond the rose itself. The background have the same treatment to make several tones with same color
