BG Porcelain Papers

Has anyone picked up this paper pack yet? I was thumbing through my paper pack yesterday and my attention was drawn to the solid papers. My jaw absolutely dropped because they replicated a background technique that I've often done on my own with watercolors. I couldn't believe my eyes! You can actually see the texture of the watercolor paper in Chantilly. Wanna know how they did it? All you need is watercolor paints and a spritzer. If you're interested, I'll be happy to post some samples and how to's.

I played making watercolor background paper! I used Adirondack Color Wash and sprayed it in random areas over dampened watercolor paper (regular cardstock will work too). I grabbed my water spritzer and proceeded to spritz over the color wash and watched then just watched what would happened. I added more color wash and more spritzing until I felt satisfied. The photo shows BG Porcelain peeking from behind my paper just in case you haven't seen it yet. So, go play....!!!
