Create a vibrant, modern card background using the wet-on-wet watercolour technique with rainbow colours blending organically across the surface. Random stamped dots in coordinating colours are added to the wet watercolour, creating an artistic, contemporary effect. This loose, expressive technique combines fluid watercolour painting with stamping to produce a unique, eye-catching design featuring roses and polka dots.

Astuces de l'émission

• Avoid working the paint too much once it is wet, as this can create muddy colours.
• Use clean, drier colours when adding multiple layers to prevent muddiness.
• You do not need to be precise with this technique; random placement creates a more artistic effect.
