Here again I used Gillette Foamy shaving cream and Strathmore Bristol Smooth, 11" x 14". This time I scraped off with an index card what was left of the shaving cream peaks on the original print - most had "puffed" off and little remained.

This was the first/master print. The thicker squiggles of shaving cream acted like a soft resist. Most of the shaving cream "poofed" off as it dried. Unlike on watercolor paper, it didn't stick around. You can see where I did push off some of the areas with an index card. Good to know you can "etch" and scrape a little for additional texture.

I think it looks frosty icy

Fourth print - I wet this again with water and wadded/crumpled it up good. (Who hasn't thought of doing this to their Brusho painting?!) Actually the Bristol Smooth did smooth out a little. I like the random creases and texture from the paper. I will try this technique again with more wet paint. However with this color pigment, I think it looks like ice or frost with less paint.
