| La Bella Durmiente Watercolor on paper 22" x 30" |
The finish was tricky due to problems I had with the mask. I have never had trouble lifting mask from a painting, and believe me, I've used a lot of mask. The top layer of paper lifted as I peeled it off. I used two different brands and both kinds took paper away with them as I pulled them off. It is Arches 300 lb. cold pressed paper, same paper I always use. No idea why, but it made getting crisp edges along the fence shapes a real chore. However, it is finished and I can toss it into the drawer and move on.
Thanks for enduring through this one! Alice
Beautiful and love the name and stories about it. I don't do watercolor often but hear that if you leave the mask on too long or it gets heated too much, like with a hair dryer or near a stove/fireplace. It was worth the struggles, just so much New Mexico. :)
