Woven Lin's Parrot
11x15 watercolor done on 9-9-25 as a live demo for Midland Palette Club. I had painted fellow artist's green macaw parrot before and for the demo painted it again, then cut one in vertical strips and the other in horizontal strips to weave together making one image.
Lots of fun to do these woven watercolors! A class is being planned on this technique for November 11 in Midland.
