1. 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.
