I left white paper in the wet-on-wet background and negatively painted some of the blossoms, then created others by scrubbing out color using cut edges of stencil paper and a rag. My rag happened to be an old Christmas handtowel with some gold glitter on it, so if you get up close the painting looks like it has little bits of shiny gold dust!
Come if you can to an artist's reception for the upcoming
show "Juxtapose" by Waterloo Watercolor Group on Sunday July 8 from
12:30 to 1:30. This painting is one of 2 that I have
in this show. It is being held at the
North Hills Gallery, 7050 Village Center Drive, in northwest Austin, easy to find and plenty of parking!
The exhibit will be up from Thursday July 5 through Sunday
July 29. The Gallery is open during
regular business hours Monday through Thursday 9 am to 5 pm, Fridays 9 am to
noon, and Sundays 8:30 am to 1 pm.
