This is the result to apply this technic
Material needed are indicated through main steps
1st Step.- There are many photographs of wáter splash in the web, to get an interesting reference to work with; therefore with a watercolor pencil I sketched main interest features over Fabriano paper 140 lbs
I also masking White paper áreas as much as posible with masking fluid + wáter (1:1) ,
Then I wet the paper below the surface line with a sponge and added the paint (cerulean blue + a dab of turquoise ) with my dropper bottle tilting the paper toward de surface line the paint will flow by gravity and let it dry throughly
2nd Step.- I added with round brush turquoise color at the surface line and in some bubbles, base on my reference and then I added salt table crystals basically through out the surfaces line, and let id dry again
3rd Step; Once dry .- I took away the crystals salts from the paint and then wet it again with a wáter pump spray in this ocassion before it dries completely (let´s say 75% of this process) I add finely ground salt so it won´t dissolve completely .- some crystals will keep attached to the surface giving us ligth reflections as fresh wáter suggestion (the photo doesn´t catch those flashes)
4th Step.- Final and intersting touches.- Now I can guide the different color values through the paint flow,.- wetting accordingly and releasing the paint with my dropper bottle as you can see in the following practicing scratch paper the color (turquoise color) will fade in a more natural way than with a brush you just need to tilt the paper and gravity will help
Take away the masking fluid and make the coin with deep yellow burnt umber and White integrating colors with and absorbent paper I also added White (permanent White of gouache) to some drops and here and there to get better light reflections
