Joy!<\/p>\n<p>Painting water is especially fun because adding water to the paint creates, well, a watery effect. Above are some waves, below a moody lighthouse. I followed Nita Engle for the waves and a highly modified YouTube tutorial for below.<\/p>\n<p>My smaller Terraskin journal is a good size for quick sketches. Below is a second lighthouse painted during a hurried lunch break.<\/p>\n<p>Using crinkled up plastic wrap on wet paint creates wild textures. I thought it would take forever to dry on mineral paper as it doesn&#8217;t absorb water, but it only took about 45 minutes. My goldfish were far too dark.
