Steps 1-3
1. Find a cool scarf, perhaps an old one in the closet or check out local dollar and thrift stores for scarves. Lacy, fringy, silky scarves work best for resist painting.

2. Prepare the watercolor paper or illustration board by taping it to the back of a piece of plywood or foam core using adhesive-backed paper tape.

3. Wet the paper using a sponge and water. Cover the paper with water. Let it dry.
