"Let's Play Ball" greeting card

I like to drop some juicy watercolor paint onto my greeting card size paper. Next I scrunch up some plastic kitchen wrap, unfold it a bit and lay it over my still wet paint. After that I put a heavy book on top for a couple of days until dry.  When I pull off the plastic wrap look at the result to see what image is hiding there. This time an old man appeared so I gave him a red background and outlined the shapes with a fine tip art pen.

"Waterfall" original greeting card painting

I enjoy painting greeting cards. This is usually my choice to paint since time for making art is small. Sometimes I can even finish one of these in one session.
