Shadow Play

Shadow Play
Vase of White Lilies
10" x 13"
watercolor

Drop it like it's. . .paint!  This was a fun and cool technique to create shadows by wetting the entire background and dropping in heavy paint for shadows.  

I found this tucked inside one of my red rope folders, still blue-taped to the foam board, while I was getting ready for the Fall semester of my watercoloring class.  I believe I may have painted this in the Spring or even Winter class earlier this year.   I remember painting it really fast and loose.  Time to "rip the tape" as my teacher says and find a frame for it!
