Happy Halloween to one and all! Keeping with the theme of the day, witches at their cauldron are on my Halloween easel! I've chosen rice paper for this watercolor batik, and have sketched my composition with India ink. This ink has the staying power to remain visible after multiple layers of watercolor and hot wax. Though it will fade considerably before the finish, it is all I need. The watercolor mingles freely on this paper, and I must allow plenty of drying time between layers. It's so fun to play in this medium - and always unpredictable. Painting number 5175 in 5175 days.
