[Aquanet] Painting

[Maureen E. Kerstein]

Rosemary,
You can paint on tissue by placing it on a plastic garbage bag, using a soft
brush, and diluted fluid acrylics.  Squirt about a teaspoon of fluid acrylic
in a small paper cup.  Add about 3 tsp of water and mix.  Brush on the
tissue.  It will dry shiny on the side that is closest to the plastic and
matte on the other side.  The tissue is very durable after drying and peels
up easily off the plastic after drying overnight.  You can vary the colors
and they bleed together nicely.  You can texturize the dried paper by
rolling a brayer with another color over it or stamping on it.
Second method:  You can add pieces of tissue to your watercolor painting by
simply adding a little gloss fluid medium to water in a cup.  You can tint
the water with watercolor or use it clear.  You can paint over the tissue
wet or dry.
Have fun!
Maureen
