Wild
Flowers gone wild... I was testing how watercolor paper would work with my ink painting. Unfortunately ink always looks quite dull on it when compared to 'rice paper', which shows magnificent shades and nuances. But the problem with rice paper is that painting gets crinkled and needs to be mounted on a stiffer backing paper, which is a very difficult process. Currently I am sending my work to China to be mounted but that is time consuming. There must be soneone in London who has mastered the traditional Asian wet mounting technique?
Both paintings are passionate. But I find them dramatic, too, especially the first one. As if this kiss is the only one, first and last at the same time. No hope, no future...
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how the idea will develop on a bigger paper.
Have a lovely new week, Sasa!:)
Passion, fast and wild. Well done.
ReplyDeleteDramatic, yes. Perhaps passion has a dark side. The kiss is sort of ominous. This one is more festive. It's a great project!
ReplyDeleteBye!
