WATERCOLOR BATIK - TULIP

Of my recent watercolor batiks, this one is my favorite.  I'm very happy with the vibrancy of the colors and the shading I achieved.

Love the colours in this, Deb. Is this on rice paper? It looks so solid almost as if it was done on w/c paper.

Teresa Palomar Lois said...

Those colors do look terrific Deb, waht kind of paper do you use for your batik paintings?

Thanks Christiane - I like that little spot too!
Pat - thanks for stopping by - all the way from the UK!!
Thanks Vicki.
Deb and Teresa - these are created on rice paper; this has been applied to watercolor paper for rigidity.
