Day 10 of the 30-30 challenge.

Misty Morning is a Batik watercolor created with wax, watercolor and a very transparent, handcrafted paper.  Look closely and you can see the fibers of the paper... I like the texture it gives to a painting.

I was reading an article by Kathie George on batik watercolors. Although I have been doing batik watercolor for a long time her technique was a little different from mine so I thought I would give it a go. I used my mixture of batik wax instead of paraffin like she suggested.  I did enjoy using brushes instead of the batik tools I normally use.  I enjoy the feel and the looseness it gives to the painting. The scariest part of all, in both techniques is at the end when you wad your rice paper into a ball. Sometimes holes occur so one must proceed with caution and practice. I also have done batik  with  acrylic paint and that's another whole ball of wax!

Have a great weekend!
