Ever wondered what to do with remnants of paper? Small bits of paper can be so inviting to work on in a short time span. Explore this special watermedia batik technique on small leftover pieces of Masa rice paper. We’ll use an acrylic ink technique to draw vivid imagery and paint with watercolor, letting the colors blend and fuse together naturally. We’ll also play with iridescent and metallic watercolors and create sparkles on the surface. Dive into detail with colored pencils, ink lines, adornments, and collage elements to embellish the shapes. And to complete the remnant look, we’ll add dyed cloth with raw edges to embellish the background, giving these small works further support.
