More color was added onto the watercolor study.  This time blue gouache was diluted and painted on.  The color of the gouache together with the watercolor underneath gives an illusion of distance and death to the painting.  I will add more layers of color to experiment a variety of effect to this abstract painting technique.  Lots of fun.

For the daily watercolor paining on the Jackson Pollock inspired study, I have added permanent black ink and yellow gouache paint onto the watercolor surface.  The permanent black ink was diluted with water before it was put on and later spread with a pointed metal palette knife.  Some the lines are randomly added by dragging the palette alone the surface of the colod press watercolor paper before the ink is dry.  Because it is a permanent opque black ink, it stays on top of the watercolor underneath.   After the black ink is completely dried, yellow color gouache is being dripped on to the surface adding more intense color to the painting.
