I love exploring how ink, watercolor, and hot wax play on delicate rice paper. First, I draw the lines with India ink, then follow with the first layer of watercolor. Hot wax is added where a resist is desired, and I build the layers from there. Once the crumbling of the wax and last wash of watercolor goes on, I iron off the wax between sheets of paper, this revealing the painting. I love the very unpredictable nature of this medium. Come see this watercolor batik on rice paper painting at the Harmonie Verein, and take a restorative class at the Yoga Bliss Festival! Painting number 4596 in 4596 days.
