Watercolour splashes

When I have no specific project in progress, I enjoy experimenting with my watercolours.
This one was done with an initial wash in Magenta Aquattone watercolour pencil. When that was dry, I splattered masking fluid on the page using an old toothbrush. Then I splattered purple, green and yellow-orange paint over the page (fill a paintbrush head with watercolour and shake it over the page - very messy, but great fun). The bit of purple on the left was done by stamping an old sponge soaked with purple paint onto the page.

And, No, I wasn't six years old when I did this. It was last week.
