Hot Glue Gun ART

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.

Supplies

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

Hot glue gun

glue sticks

watercolors

brushes

water container

Heat Up the Glue Gun

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

Paint

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

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