Painting rocks in watercolour 2 ways part 1

There are so many different techniques to use in watercolour (watercolor) and using a credit card to lift out or manipulate the paint is one way that I sometimes paint a rocky headland without actually painting the rocks. It is quick and easy but there is a trick to the amount of pigment that you use. The first wash should be light colours (colors) and thin/wet. While damp you then drop thick almost Vegemite/butter consistency pigment over the top in a range of dark colours (colors). Then while it is still wet use the corner & side of a loyalty card to scratch the pigment. If you have the card too much up on the corner you will create a divot that pigment runs into and leaves a dark line. I bend the card a little so that I am on the corner and partial side of the card.
