Another dry on wet technique would be to draw out your flower shapes or objects first using either the water-soluble crayons or water-soluble pencils. The colors are more brilliant when the powder is shaken onto wet paper – but the dilute liquid gives you more control.

It’s cold-pressed but has a softer, more textured surface and no surface sizing, so it’s more absorbent. Ideal for use on canvases, watercolour paper, and for creative journaling, greeting cards, gift tags, scrapbooking, mixed media projects, interior design/home decor projects.Brusho are pots of water-colour crystals which are transparent, intermixable, incredibly vibrant and highly pigmented. The third step would be to brush water over the areas only that you want the powder to stick, then sprinkle lightly.

Highly recommended for a new and different approach to watercolours but be aware they are very addictive and a little bit goes a very long way!

If you look back at the dilute brush area where I accidentally dropped salt – that’s the effect I was going for. Joanne Thomas is perhaps the only art tutor in the world that teaches budding artists to create expressive, contemporary watercolours with Brusho. When applied to a wet paper surface, some of the composite colour mixed powders, disperse little bursts of rainbow flecks across your paper or fabric.
