For those who seek inspiration and ease in creativity.
Creative crisis, fear of a 'blank sheet', 'forced' works or 'zero ideas' in mind... Problems like these are familiar to both amateurs and experienced artists.
All this begets fears and takes away lightness and pleasure from the creative process.
It's high time to change it!

Svetlana`s Rumak recommendations
ABOUT materials and tools for this technique
Other materials and tools you need:
Whatman paper or drawing paper
For this technique, I use a regular drawing paper on a stretcher. It is on the drawing paper, and not on the watercolor paper, that the tricks that I show in the lesson turn out the best.
Whatman is ideal for this technique with all its characteristics - it's white, dense, smooth, yet cheap and easy to get.
If you can't buy a real Whatman "Goznak" where you live, don't get upset. Try replacing it with paper with similar characteristics.
Try, test different paper and share the results of your experiments in a private community on the topic of the lesson - I'm sure everyone will be interested! :)

Watercolor paints + acrylic
In this technique I use titanium white acrylic.
For many years now I have mainly used 'Tair' acrylic paints from St Petersburg, but you can try any white acrylic.
In the lesson, I use my old watercolor box "Leningrad" - the one I was using back when I was a student; but I think that for this technique any watercolor paints, even the most "amateur" ones, will look good on the tricks that I show :)

Brushes
I know that watercolorists prefer natural brushes (squirrel, kolinsky), but I love quality brushes with synthetic fiber.
Sometimes I like to "dig around" with very small details and then use the thinnest brushes, for example, No. 0/3. For the main work, you can use brushes No. 0, No. 1, No. 2.
When choosing brushes, make sure that the fiber of the brush is not too long. For example, there are brushes with long fibers for painting or calligraphy, and they will not work for us.

Watercolor pencils
This is not a must, but I recommend that you also use watercolor pencils. When I made my first works in this technique more than 22 years ago, I didn't even know about the existence of watercolor pencils, but now I use them by all means, they add the depth of shades and subtle nuances to the work.
4 brands of quality watercolor pencils:
1. Cretacolor, Marino line.
2. Faber Castell, Albrecht Durer line.
3. Derwent, Watercolour line.
4. Koh-I-Noor.
