Another mermaid appears. This is actually an older piece that has been hanging on Amanda and Rob's wall for years. On a recent visit, I snapped a photo to include here. This is a watercolor on silk. I love the way you can chase the color around on the fabric and yet, it still totally has a mind of its own and the end result is whatever the painting wants to be. So much for the power of the artist. Several years ago this was my medium of choice. Not sure why all the ingredients have gone into the bins and into the cupboard. Perhaps this will inspire me to bring it all out.

One of my all-time favs! :)
ReplyDeleteTry hot-press watercolor paper?... it might feel a little like painting on silk... with a mind of its own. Very fun painting.
