"Intuitive Watercolor" is a fun, creative idea I got from a book called "Artist Trading Card Workshop" by Bernie Berlin. It's simple, yet a challenge. All you have to do is wet your watercolor paper and then blot paint or watercolor pencil onto it. It will create abstract shapes that the artist will turn into people, places, or things. "By just allowing the watercolor to randomly saturate the paper and flow into abstract shapes, we can then use our imaginations to outline the images we see. Opening your mind is a creative exercise in art, allowing yourself to see images; training your eye is part of the process and can help you develop your intuitive talents." -Bernie Berlin in "Artist Trading Card Workshop" You can also use die ink or water-soluble oil pastels in place of watercolor if you wish. What do you see? Who knows!! |
