Step-by-Step Instructions
Steps:
1. Start by taping down the edges of your watercolor paper to create a clean border.
2. Use the white crayon to draw your desired design or pattern on the paper. Press firmly to create a resist effect.
3. Wet your paintbrush and activate your watercolor paints on the palette or in small dishes.
4. Paint over the entire paper, covering the crayon marks. The wax from the crayon will resist the watercolor, creating a beautiful effect.
5. Experiment with different colors and blending techniques to achieve the desired look.
6. Allow the painting to dry completely before removing the masking tape.
7. Once dry, you can add additional details or highlights using a fine-tip brush and white paint if desired.
8. Remove the tape and admire your watercolor resist painting!
