lilies and fruit

Here is another demo piece from a workshop last week.  Keeping the colors clean is hard work, especially when you have yellows next to violets and pinks next to greens...they tend to "neutralize" each other when they touch...having said that...I do encourage pigments to mix on the paper so shapes connect, especially blossoms with stems and leaves so they don't look detached.

Do you use liquid frisket to mask out the patterns on the plate?

It is beautiful.

Love how you've painted the leaves and the background behind them.
