I promised to make this a long time ago. I had done the experiments, taking photos and scans, but became busy before arranging the tutorial.

I dunno if you've ever made a tutorial, but they take bloody forever. I spent all day on this crazy thing.

A lot of this feels really obvious and self-explanatory to me, and it may to you, too, but I know that to some people this is all very new so I kept it pretty simple.

I may, at a later date, add on the bubble texture and maybe a blotting kind of texture. Right now, I am calling it finished XO

I don't remember if I offered these textures as a resource yet, but I meant to. If not, I'll arrange a packet shortly.

Please forgive any kookoo mistakes. By the end I was like this --> @_@ and not sound of mind.

Great examples and information on how and why water color texturing stuff works the way it does. I really like this.

This is brilliant. I've never really ventured into the world of watercolors, but tonight I decided to look up some tutorials to see how it'd be to kick-start the habit. I never even thought about doing things like this to a canvas, and they're such neat, profound effects that a brush would never be able to make on its own. This is a very sincere "thank you" for making this, I truly appreciate stumbling upon this. It may just be that inspiration I needed.
