Glue stick resist

The MIX-ability challenge  this week was to use a glue stick to resist watercolor. I wasn't really sure what I thought it would look like. I am a visual learner and since I didn't see any examples before starting all I had was the directions to draw with a glue stick let it dry then watercolor. So this project  was pure experiment. I didn't want to  just draw. I decided to use the glue stick over a stencil. My first phot, I darkened it so you can the glue. I hope you can sort of see it. 


Here is what it looks like after I watercolored it.


I added inka gold metallic rub. I also splattered with black acrylic paint. My dragonfly has glittery wings and sequins.
