I’ll then demonstrate what happens when fresh water or wetter paint is introduced into a wash that has already started to settle, pushing the pigment aside and creating that characteristic lacy edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ll show you what you can do when a cauliflower appears unexpectedly, but also why they aren’t necessarily a mistake. Once you understand how they form, they can become a wonderfully creative effect in their own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s all about learning to recognise what your paint is doing – first gaining control, and then knowing when it might be fun to let the watercolour misbehave a little!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Begin With Billy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56864249250178,"sku":"basic-techniques-2-cauliflowers","price":0.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4587\/4136\/files\/Cauliflowers_Thumb_2d90306f-f923-4d3b-bd0e-1da41ff64a7b.jpg?v=1788418187","url":"https:\/\/billyshowell.com\/en-nz\/products\/basic-techniques-2-cauliflowers","provider":"Billy Showell School of Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
