:I met an artist several years ago who did this.  He painted on sheet metal,

:quality Binks spray gun, and his medium was automobile acrylics.  He would
:spray the metal sheed in a color.  Then he would dip his hand in a bucket
:of water and sprinkle water drops all over the sheet (which was laying
:flat, of course)  These auto-aacrylics dried in about five minutes, so he
:would then wipe off the water spots, which allowed the first color to show
:through,  He would repeat this process with different colors several
:times.  At intervals he would lightly sand the surface (as the water globs
:left a ring of paint skin sticking up in the air).  At any rate, after
:about a hundred steps, he had a quite wonderful painting.  Rally impressive
:stuff. (I can't remember his name -- Mike B...?).
