Determined Tulips Mixed Media
When was the last time you sent a handwritten note to a friend far away. I recently began sending handwritten notes in beautiful art cards to my favorite cousins and dear friends far away. It has been a lovely way to revive an old tradition for so many of us experiencing Zoom burnout.
This lovely little painting was an experiment for a kids' art class I taught at BozeArts. It was painted on a crumpled paper bag soaked in water. That is what gave it the crinkly effect. I did the drawing on the wet paper bag, painted with watercolor wet-in-wet, then touched it up with colored pencil once it dried. That last is what gave it the vibrant colors.
