Day 4 of Paint Yourself Happy. This was an interesting experiment: mono printing

take a nonporous surface and put some beads of watercolor on it
invert the surface and press it down onto paper
pick it up and see what sticks, and work with it

I tried this challenge when I was visiting my folks, and had limited access to resources. Ended up cutting the rim off of a cottage cheese container lid and using that, with questionable results. Overall, my experiments were a bust, but this one came out okay. I think I’ll try it again later when I get back to my home office and have more of my tools at hand.
