For this painting I decided to try simply putting some watercolors on to the paper and see what I saw in the dried paint, similar to the journal pages I showed you here: What The Paint Splatters Revealed
To start, I wet the paper and added blue and a peachy red that I mixed. I let it dry, then came back to see what I could see.
What do you see? I couldn’t see anything at this point so I turned the paper vertically.
There! Can you see it? It’s a face!
I added paint to emphasize the facial features, hair and background. Drying time again.
Details added to eyes, nose, hair and background.
…and she’s finished. She looks like a Jane, so that is what I named her.
I really love these happy little surprises that come from playing with watercolor.
Love your painted Jane, interesting to see the steps in the development. Valerie
luv your process, she a pretty Jane; have a nice Friday
much love…
Love this painting of Jane! Very creative and wonderful all rolled into one. I love it. (Our pug's name is "Jane"….Jane Austen Eyre to be exact :o) Have fun with the rest of the challenge. So glad Leslie is hosting it again. I'm having lots of fun with trying to figure out what to paint each day.
Love all your faces so far. The watercolour face looks great.
How awesome! Your painting is very emotive. I like to do the same: put down some loose colors and see what they tell me.
Such a fun technique, I love finding figures in drips and colours 🙂 Your face looks great, love her!
Very pretty Jane! Perfect name for her too!!

I always love the unexpected nature of watercolours… love the process you are using to let things emerge…xx
I love these kinds of working methods, when one lets the materials show the way! This is perfect!
Such simple lines–so soft and pretty.
Excellent creativity. I admire and appreciate this wonderful new technique. Blessings, Janet PPF
