Scissors on Patchwork
Watercolor on
8" x 8" Clayboard
Repeating this one in watercolor so soon after painting it in oils left me unimpressed. It's hard to compete with the richness of color of the oils. But I did have this sample of Clayboard by Ampersand that I wanted to try and do find it interesting. For example it is easy to wipe back to pick out highlights that were lost. But that does make it a bit tricky to keep it from getting muddy. But all the while my conscious brain is saying I'm not enthralled my
subconscious is saying "I wonder if I have more of these boards to keep playing?".
I haven't priced this one simply because I'm not sure what my framing options will be. For example, I've read about varnished watercolors but I haven't explored this possibility and now would be the time to try it since it's on clayboard. This means framing without glass which is another benefit. If anyone has experience with varnishing watercolors, I'd love to hear about it.
