Stage 5

Here is the next phase of my painting. After putting in the gradient wash in the background, my plan was to put in this pattern. Along with the flow of the tulips, I have been inspired by marbling patterns. I collect decorative papers and love my marbled paper generally made in Italy. During this time of social isolation, I have been taking the time to do some experimenting.

Here is a close-up of the intricate pattern that I created. In order to get this effect, I am starting to use some mixed media incorporated with my transparent watercolor. I use Permanent White Gouache for a more opaqueness.

I still am not done yet. More to follow.
