First we soaked a piece of watercolour paper in water for about 10 minutes and then wiped off excess water (the paper should have a sheen to it not be soaking wet). We then diluted the paint but I think I made too faint (next time I would have a stronger colour). Then using brushes we flicked paint on it watching as the colours bled into each other.
ubmerge
paper (one sheet at a time, so that they don’t stick together) in water
and let it soak while you prepare everything else. Paper should soak
about 10-15 minutes.
2. Mix your paint(s). When starting out, I recommend painting with one color at a time. Put a dollop of paint in the bottom of a pint jar (a tablespoon or so), and add water until the jar is about 3/4 full. Mix well. (I like to use a chopstick for this purpose.) You can test the intensity of the shade on a scrap of paper. Add more paint to make stronger, or more water to soften.
3. Pour a small amount of mixed paint (just enough to cover the bottom) into baby jars (one for each painter). Remaining paint can be refrigerated to use again later.
4. Lay a piece of soaked paper on a painting board or other flat, smooth, waterproof surface. A kitchen counter works well, but keep in mind that the painting should not be moved from the surface until dry. Most watercolor paper has a rougher side and a smoother side. Lay paper down with rough side up.
5. Wipe excess water off paper with clean, damp sponge. Make sure there are no puddles of water on the paper, and wipe away any air bubbles. Paper should have a sheen to it, but not be soaking wet.

unexpected ways. - See more at:
