How to create an interesting surface pattern using watercolour paint and cling film

Creating a textured water colour paint surface with cling film.

11.   Paint colours you want to use on paper. Paint needs to be quite liquid, but not too wet.

12. Take a piece of cling-film wrap and place over the painted surface.

 3. Gently push cling wrap to create a more crumpled effect, the more crinkles you get the more visual texture your surface will have.

 Another example with the cling wrap on the water colour paint surface - waiting for it to dry.

4. Peel of the plastic wrap when the paint is dry or almost dry.


Example of the visually textured surface with the cling wrap removed.
Now you can create (paint, draw etc...) over it if you want to!
