12x16” Watercolor and India Ink on paper.
My paintings start with a pencil sketch followed by layers of watercolor until the saturation and tones are where I want them… and then comes the India Ink. Sometimes I can spend as many hours at this stage as I did in the painting itself.
This piece is waxed with a cold medium wax used to seal watercolors when it is desired to NOT use glass when framing. It is still recommended to avoid overly moist environments as well as to not hang in a spot that gets a lot of direct sunlight.
