Ref 1049.- Watercolor// texturizing mostly with an old toothbrush
                                   over Stardream silver color paper

 Experimenting with this type of paper the following Project involves  a splatter technique through different areas.  It’s a technique almost uncontrollable but gives a sense of mystery and overall highlight to the painting process. 
Spattering can´t be controlled easily, so it is better to mask with torn paper, however I found that in this type of paper it is easy to dissolve painting drops and lift out with an absorbent paper so I didn´t
This is the result of this new Project



1.- As I´m experimenting I tried the use of graphitone to sketch basic reference lines (the graphite of this pencil is wáter soluble so doesn´t leave pencil lines at the end and also contribuite to build up shadows, I did sketch in a loosy way taking care of the perspective

 
2.- by past experiences with silver color I reinforce the brushing wáter addition;  with black color to form most of the shadows I´ll need
 
 
 
3.- This type of paper it doesn´t work like the watercolor paper (absorbent) it is in some way waterproof at the begining but litle by litle  as start to moisten, accept the watercolor, nevertheless you can take advantage to work with textures and if you are not pleased you can try it again without disturb it.- Then with a plastic scourer before the paint dry I starting to add some texturization for foliage


4.- At this stage you can do all stains (shades) that you need and also wipe over with and absorbent paper . start to form what you´ll need and are planing trough your head

 
 
5.- Next, dip an old tooth brush in desired paint and with your thumb flick the paint onto the paper.  I worked closer to the paper to try and get full coverage of the paint.  I first used primary colors (yellow in this particular case) and also I did use a fine brush to cover all I wanted
 
This is so much fun! Wet the toothbrush, then dip it in a color, practice in a scratch paper  and then  run your finger on the toothbrush so the splatters end up in the area you want. After the yellow splatters, repeat with another colors!

6.-Aim the toothbrush bristles at your paper..- rub your finger against the bristles and spray the paint on the paper. Use a paintbrush to complete your picture - if you want. now was green

 
7.- Now black 

 
8.- Now White (this color in particular is gouache) With this color you need to take care of perspective so integrate just the wáter drops far in the distance with an absorbent paper to fade the color a Little bit and avoid 2D appearance


9.- the puddle of water on the road is the only one with vertical and faded brushe-strokes to suggest reflection



10.- Now with payne´s grey, start to worh with all details once underpainting is completely dry and I start with the boy figure in the place already reserved for him

 
11.- Final touches; the White again is the color that brings 3D and live to the painting - do it careful and above all enjy and have fun
