Life Style / Painting / Wash: The application of dilute water-colour to a support. The paper on the board should be at a slope of about ten degrees. Plenty of colour should be mixed up in a bowl and a large mop brush used. Start at the top and continue with horizontal strokes only just touching the paper. While the colour is still wet it may be bled into or wiped or mopped out with a dry brush, blotting-paper or a piece of rag.
