Pour the Paint
This technique is a bit on the messy side, but it’s so satisfying
to see the colors fl ow together and mix on the page. To make
a background that really looks good, however, you need to be
quick and know when to stop. It is very easy to play a little too
long and end up with a muddy mess rather than shimmery
colors with beautifully feathered edges.
