Acrylic watercolor technique: I ink up the acrylic block and spray it heavily with water, place the watercolor paper panel on the block and let it absorb the water and itÂ’ll give the paper the light multi colored look when it dries. Remember the more the water the lighter the color will be.
Clean off the acrylic block.
The second step is to ink up the acrylic block and mist it lightly holding the spray bottle about two feet from the block. Lie the same panel on the block again and let it absorb the little bit of moisture for a deeper colored ink pattern.
Different textures of watercolor paper will give different results.
You can find a tutorial with photos on my direct blog post here.
