  Step 1

  This is what you need: Paper, drikning straw and water-based drawing ink in different colours.
  I don't know in how many colours they come but I have green, blue, black, red and yellow.

• 

  Step 2

  Put a small amount of ink on the paper, less is more..

• 

  Step 3

  Start blowing the dot of ink around with the straw but don't put saliva in the ink:)

• 

  Step 4

  If you make circular motions with the straw while blowing, you get a tree/vein effect. Pretty neat.

• 

  Step 5

  Add more colours in and when you are happy with your picture you are done!

Hmm I'm not sure you'd get the same effect with a substitute like watercolours but you can try

Thank you all for the comments. I'm glad you all liked it. Incredibly easy. I put up two more pictures and one is of a card that might be used as a Valentines card.

Very cool!
It just goes along with how something so simple as a drop of paint and straw, can make a work of art So detailed...
Kudos to you
