Streaked Wash
The wet-into-wet technique is the wash most often used. Colors are placed side by side on a wet surface and allowed to flow together Soft blending is the result of this wash. Because of the wet surface there is less control. I f nd this is a great wash for my controlled accidents.
The streaked wash is really a tool to get you to think about washes and texture.The color is placed on a wet surface, then you pick up your drawing board and tilt it in the direction you want the texture to run. I often use this technique when I want to show the wind blowing the clouds or rain.
