Watercolor batik on masa paper, 8x5

Wow - this masa paper is thick! Well, compared to the rice papers I have been using, that is. I have so carefully wadded up the other paintings before flattening for the cracking of the wax, but not so on this one! I had to work it down into a ball, and do it again before enough cracks appeared to float the paint in to! And, just look at the larger scale of those creases - all due to a thicker piece of rice paper. I think it will be easier to paint on, once I get a few more under my belt. I have grown so used to the tissue paper thin varieties, that I hardly know what to do with a paper that holds it's shape! I'm going to have so much fun with this paper! Painting number 650 in as many days :)
