Tis the season for watercolor batik pumpkins!! I love the layers of this magical process!! I begin with a thin piece of rice paper and I sketch my pumpkins with in India ink pen. These lines will almost fade away entirely with all the layers. If I want them to show, I need to use a heavier line. After the watercolor goes on, I add hot wax to any areas I want to resist further paint. And so I proceed through as many layers as it takes before I wax it all, wad it into a ball, then lay flat to wash on more watercolor. After ironing to remove the wax, I am left with the above painting, ready to frame and hang for the autumn season! Painting number 5169 in 5169 days.
