Week 4: Focus on creating texture using salt for unique patterns, dry brushes for rough surfaces, and scrumbling for layered effects.

Week 5: Master the art of lifting and resisting with brushes and tissue to create highlights, and experiment with oil pastels to resist watercolour for striking contrasts.
