Painting - Watercolor On Masa Paper; Japanese Rice Paper
Description
Painted on a Masa paper (Japanese rice paper) surface, this giant balloon clown would happily grace a child's room with his smiling face surrounded by colorful cascades of flowers! (This painting took me completely out of my comfort zone! The "crinkles" on the finished Masa paper were accompanied by unexpected purple polka dots, which were not going to work well with the delicate flower I had intended to paint. The more I looked at the paper, the more clearly I "saw" a big-bellied inflatable clown surrounded by flowers. I seldom do a painting without a clear mental image, at the very least, of my end result, so making it up as I went along was very uncomfortable. However, it was a good learning experience for me, and kind of fun in a stressful sort of way! :-))
