Polymer Clay Paintdrip Watercolor Tutorial

How to do the Polymer Clay Paintdrip Watercolor Technique

• To start you’ll need a sheet leftover from a previous Oyster Watercolor. If you haven't made one before see my Oyster Watercolor Tutorial. The sheet will be full of holes where you punched out the circles.
• Take your punched sheet and break it gently into strips. Try to keep them as long as possible. (See the video.)
• Lay the strips over one another in an overlapping fashion.
• Roll flat with your acrylic rod against the grain to create the watercolor effect.
• Continue to roll in all directions to flatten the sheet completely.
• Roll through the pasta machine on the thickest setting, then progressively through the next two settings.

How to do the Polymer Clay Fish Scale Watercolor Technique

• To start you’ll need a sheet leftover from a previous Painted Watercolor. It can be the same one you used for the Oyster Watercolor if you have enough whole pieces left, or another one.
• Punch out a bunch of small circles using a small circle cutter. I used the ones from my mini circle cutter set.
• Layer them in overlapping lines so that they look like fish scales. (See the video.)
• Press them together using your fingertips.
• Roll flat with your acrylic rod against the grain to create the watercolor effect.
• Continue to roll in all directions to flatten the sheet completely.
• Roll through the pasta machine on the thickest setting, then progressively through the next two settings.
• You can try this technique using bigger or smaller circles.
