I recently went to a workshop run by The Brusho Queen, Joanne Boon Thomas. Very informative but fun thrown in for good measure. She is very generous with the information she passed on to us and is warm and friendly. Here is a the work that we did. They are on Half Imperial Langton Paper.

Can't say the name of the flower but remember it is An Enemy - er really an anenome! Some spraying technique and then used like like watercolour. Such vibrant colours. |
 |
Just using two colours. Turquoise and Orange! A tiny bit of Ultra under and in the boat. Same method as above.
If you haven't heard of Brusho and would like to see it in action, you can find a video by Joanne Boon Thomas on Youtube and many of her painting on google.

Brusho is like dye crystals or ink, like salt, you can sprinkle and spray, use bleach and play with the paint or use like watercolour. You can get effects with it that you can't with watercolour. I call it my playtime when I use it. Originally it was used for textiles. It is also used in schools as it is non toxic. It does, however, stain your fingers temporarily, so I have to wear an apron, as I am a messy painter at the best of times.
Do check out her lovely work on google images, pinterest or visit www.artybyboon.co.uk.
