This is a fun way to paint but takes a little practice I covered the surface of my paper with the three primary colors - Red, Yellow and Blue. I let the colors blend together. Once the under painting was dry I used a template in the shape of the roses and lifted up the color to reveal the white flower. After lifting color off the surface of the paper, I added the shadows to define the petals. It was a technique demonstrated at the Annapolis Watercolor Club by Susan Herron. Take a look at her work to see a professional rendition of the technique.
Thank you for visiting this blog. I am an expressive watercolorist. I love pure watercolors, but I also create many mixed media pieces using collage, acrylics, and mono printing. I love negative painting and many of my friends say I paint "on the other side." This is very true in a deeper sense as professionally I am a spiritual medium and really do connect with the other side. See more of my work at http://www.janehalliwell.com
