Blotting Removing some of the pigment in certain areas using a paper towel or rag. Dry Brush Method in watercolor where most of the water is removed from the brush to show the brush strokes; paint is usually more saturated. Salt Added to a wet section of pigment and water, it creates a starry or sandy effect. Even Wash Created by keeping the brush loaded with the same amount of pigment and water to form a flat color on the paper. Resist Masking off an area using tape, glue, or wax—then painting over the area. Scratch/ Scrape Creating texture by using the end of your brush to strike through wet paint. Stippling/ Spraying Using the brush to make little dots or tapping a wet brush above the paper to splatter dots. Graduated (graded) Wash Dragging the pigment out with water to create a dark to light value change. Wet-in-Wet Brushing clean water onto the paper then dripping pigment into the wet areas; creates a tie-dye effect.

Directions 1.Fold your paper in half lengthwise once, and then the opposite way two times (hotdog, hamburger, hamburger) 2.Label each square with the technique name and write the definition. 3.Create the technique in the box below the definition.
