Internal experiment: water colour experiments using salt, bleach, beetroot juice and cling film. I started off by using a salt water wash and then adding drops of paint but it didn’t have the effect I wanted it to, so I painted the paper first and then sprinkled salt which turned out really nicely, and I think it looks like different cells in the body. I then tried two different techniques with cling film, first I wet the cling film and then dropped some paint onto in and then pressed the paper down on top of it, this left a subtle effect. Then I tried to paint the paper before added the cling film on top, which gave if the nice vein look when I peeled it pff which reminded me of the veins of the lungs. I found some left over beetroot juice in my fridge so I thought it might be interesting to paint with. It left a really strong pink colour, sort of looking like the insides of a body. Lastly I tried to add bleach to some of these experiments thinking it would take the paint away and leave a cool effect but it never had any effect on the paint .
