Stunning collage papers with eyedroppers

Imagine making collage papers that will leave your friends and audience wondering how in the world you made them. Well, I'm here to show you just how to achieve that mystical effect using water, acrylic paint, and a handy eyedropper.
Now, here's a pro tip: I prefer using three primary colors-along with some white and black mixed in for added variety. This combination gives me the versatility to create a wide range of colors and ensures that all the collage papers we make during TuneIn Tuesday episodes harmonize beautifully together.
Don't forget to grab your eyedroppers! I typically have a couple of different-sized ones on hand, and I find that they work wonders for this technique. You can even use a pipette if that's what you have available.
Before we dive into the technique, let me quickly share a little secret. I'm going to mix a perfect baby blue color for this demo. Blues always get me excited, and I find them rather easy to work with. So grab a bit of white paint, and a touch of blue, and let's create that perfect shade of baby blue together!
Make sure to thoroughly saturate your chosen paper on both sides. This step ensures that it remains flat and ready for our artistic expression. Now comes the fun part! Take your eyedropper, fill it with your watered-down paint, and let the creative magic flow. Experiment with dropping the paint onto the paper, allowing it to create mesmerizing patterns and designs. You can even try layering the colors for added depth and complexity. The possibilities are endless!
The 3 primaries that I use to create all of my collage papers are Phthalo Blue - Green Shade, Hansa Yellow Light, Quin Majenta.
