Easy PaintTechniques ATC- Wax Resist

This one is easy!
You will make 2 ATCs for one partner from the background sheet that you do first.
Materials:
Watercolour paper- not too thick A5 size approx.
Plain old candle or a wax crayon
Thinned watercolour paint- watery consistency
or
Ink
or
Thinned acrylic paint-watery consistency.
Soft brush

Instructions:
Use the candle or the wax crayon to make marks, designs, scribbles on the paper.
Press hard so that the wax clings to the paper.
Use a soft brush to paint over the whole sheet of paper. The wax will resist the paint.

LET IT DRY

When dry, cut out 2 ATC size cards from the paper-
(2 1/2 x 3 1/3 inches)
Leave one as it is- you will send it to your partner along with the next one.
With the other one, embellish, paint on again, collage, or do whatever you like to make another interesting ATC for your partner.

The photo shows the 2 that I have made. The embellished one has a textured fish collaged on and number stamps to complete the ATC called "One, two, three, four, five"
