This piece is a mixed media piece which include acrylic and watercolor on paper. I over saturated this paper with water and after too many coats of paint and water the paper became blotter paper. This doesn't make it easy to get clean clear color as all the paint pigment seeps down into the fibers rather than sitting on top. I put several coats of fabric starch on the piece to try to get some size back and this helped.
I love the way the background has all those small little spots and shapes, it really does look like water.
Stumble It!
