Fondness for Hearts
5.5x7.5 watercolor on 140 lb hot press paper done yesterday. I first drew in 4
heart shapes with a white wax crayon, then did a quick underpainting using
alizarin crimson and thalo blue. Over those colors I laid crumpled plastic wrap
and let it dry all day. Later, I lifted up the plastic to find a multitude
of crinkled areas from which new hearts were developed by negative and positive
painting.
