After choosing the appropriate colours, I increased the scale of my experiments and tried using techniques I don't usually use. This included mixing acrylic and water to paint diagonally dripping lines. Underneath I had layered white emulsion to create an unusual texture to paint on. I did the same emulsion backing on another page where I splattered watered down acrylic onto the page with a paint brush. As I thought this looked best, I did the same but with layered black emulsion as a background. This failed as I think it looked very heavy and darkened the mood of the experiment.
As I enjoyed using watered down colours, i chose to soak a page in water, and drip ink on to make the colours fuse together. This was my most successful experiment as the colours were bold and vibrant, but still looked gentle and didn't over crowd the page.
