Watercolor wash notecards

How to make it

1. 

   1

   Tape down the card

   Tape all 4 edges of the paper to the table. You'll get a crisp white border when you peel it off.

2.

   Wet the paper

   Brush plain clean water over the whole card. It should shine but not puddle.

   Drop in color

   Touch a loaded brush to the wet paper. Watch the color bloom out on its own.

   Add a second color

   Drop in another color next to the first. Let them mix at the edges. Blue and pink make a sunset.
