steps to watercolor ink smoosh with plastic wrap

  1. Prepare watercolors for use.
  2. Scrunch up plastic wrap and place on work surface.
  3. Apply watercolor to plastic wrap – dropping color and/or brushing on.
  4. Press watercolor card into plastic wrap. A light touch will leave less ink – pressing in more will create more contact points.
  5. For a softer look, spritz the watercolor card with water before pressing into the plastic wrap.
  6. For various layers, dry the watercolor card before pressing again into plastic wrap.
