Mix your desired watercolor paints with water on a palette. 4. Wet your paintbrush and start painting over the entire paper, including the resist design. 5. Watch as the resist design resists the watercolor paint, revealing the hidden design. 6. Continue adding layers of watercolor paint until you are satisfied with the result. 7. Let the painting dry completely. 8. Once dry, you can remove any excess crayon or pastel with a paper towel. 9. Frame your artwork and enjoy!
