Saran/plastic wrap is a quick and easy way to create a marbled look on watercolor for an interesting background with texture. Begin with a watercolor wash of your desired color-make sure it is very wet. Cover with plastic wrap (the more wrinkles the better) and allow to dry. Remove wrap. Voila! Texture. Once the first color is completely dry, add a second color as desired.
