Ref 998;- Watercolor.- Painting with soapy wáter (ref. photograph)

There are several different ways to paint with soap., So I´m going to take advantage of the soap in the following way for this particular painting as first stage:
A). - Spatter soap onto a wet wash. Where ever the soap lands, it will push the paint away.
 B). - Drop soapy water onto a wash and then paint across it with a brush. The soap will disperse the paint and stop it from flowing back into the área.
 C). - Mix the soap and paint so there are lots of bubbles. Paint with this bubbly mixture. When the bubbles pop, they create additional texture. (If you want to avoid the effect of bubbles, mix the soap gently or allow it to stand until all the bubbles have burst before you paint.

This is the result through out this process:

                        

Main stages; With grey´s Payne in a loose way I start to indicate main features, ans also with Thalo blue where the shadows will be and then with pale red troley shape, The paper, it is still soaked with soapy wáter, this stage is then, wet on wet



As this paper gets dry, I reinforce main shapes still in a loose way


I´m adding also White color while paper gets dry, the effect with soap make painting lumps, making the rain effect more realistic


Into this stage I start to paint lines (because there are many buildings and Windows - urban scene), trying to fade them - paper need to be still soaked otherwise lines will difficult to integrate



Once completely dry - nest steps will be made "wet on dry" to start detailing and add additional color pigmentation from darker to light



Final stage. for additional brightess I use to work with opaque White (gouache) to highlight rainy drops, lights etc.
