Painting - Watercolor On Rice Paper
Description
This is part of a series of bee paintings I've been doing. I'm experimenting with different substrates beyond traditional watercolor paper and canvas. This painting is done on rice paper which was handmade in Japan by my son's fiance's family. The painting was done with a two step process. First the background is done on wet, crinkled rice paper; then the rice paper is mounted to a traditional watercolor paper and the painting is completed once the paper had dried. First attempt at this, but I feel I will be doing more with this technique. ** Honorable Mention - watercolor, EAA Spring Art Show, 2018, Euclid, OH **
