I love experimenting with color application. I soak watercolor paper in water for several minutes until it is good and wet. I immediately take full strength paint and apply it to the paper. I will mix colors on the paper instead of on the palette. The paint spreads out in all directions creating many interesting shapes. I then let it dry completely (overnight). The next day, I will look at the painting to see what shapes were created. I then "flesh out" the painting by glazing several layers of paint over the base wash.

The above painting was created with the aforementioned method.
