Splatter
15 x 11, watercolor on paper $495
The painting above, titled Splatter, is watercolor on paper.
To begin, I used liquid masking, sometimes referred to as frisket
which is like liquid rubber cement. I brushed and splattered it
onto the paper trying to be as random in my marks
to simulate the natural flow of a waterfall. The masking protects
the white paper underneath. This allows a great freedom of adding
washes and layers of watercolor on top. When the painting is totally dried
the masking is removed. The trick then is to integrate all the whites
of the protected shapes with the surrounding shapes and colors.
