About: I am an artist living and teaching ART in NYC for over 30 years, and I am a CZT, Certified Zentangle Teacher. I love to explore all sorts of art making both in my teaching and in my own work...check out my sit…

While I was falling asleep last night I got this great idea to use hot glue as a resist technique in a watercolor painting. Similar to batik, however, instead of hot wax I used hot glue and worked on paper, rather than fabric.

Step 1: Supplies

large sheet Arches paper (I think any paper would work)

Hot glue gun

glue sticks

watercolors

brushes

water container

Step 2: Heat Up the Glue Gun

I plugged in the glue gun, waited for it to heat up and began to draw with the glue.

Step 3: Paint

When finished and the glue was cooled and set I began to paint.

Step 4: Finished

I really like how the little strings of glue that landed on the paper created its own deigns within my glue drawing.
