#Doodlewash prompt: Children. Did you know that bird parents sometimes make over a thousand trips to and from the nest each day, in order to keep their children fed properly? Poor things!
I started a painting and soon realized that I hated it. Not one to let that stop me, I turned on the kitchen tap, washed as much of the paint away as possible and painted something entirely different.
This is what it looked like after I washed the paint away. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to add more paint, but the paper took the paint like it was fresh from the package. Hahnemühle’s new Agave coldpress is tough paper!
Done with watercolor on Hahnemühle Agave Cold-Press watercolor paper with ZenArt Black Tulip brushes.
Sandra, you’re so imaginative – and brave! The “old painting” showing through the new one looks intentional as well as beautiful. The lavender and white areas work into the birds perfectly.
Thank you so much, Sharon! I love doing these ‘saves’. You never know exactly what you are going to get!
You are the master of negative painting. This is delicious. You would have been a great batik artist…you can work with those “layers” so well! AND….what a review for Hahnemühle’s new Agave coldpress!! So forgiving!
Many thanks, Judy! I’ve thought about trying batik, but me and messy liquids – a disaster waiting to happen, lol!
