The Color seemed to cling into paper really well. Unfortunately the result became muddy, my conclusion is too much yellow/blue left in the paper, giving overall Greenish / yellow cast. But it´s a start for future experiments :0)
I don't like the black pieces around the outside. I'm going to have to do squares I think which is going to be a total pain to cut.

This is a work in progress. This is the first day's painting. I have no lines or plan you can see I just paint right on the white paper.

torbellamonaca è un quartiere periferico di roma. situato oltre il grande raccordo anulare, il quartiere appare estraneo, piĂ¹ di altri, dalle dinamiche e dalle connessioni con la cittĂ . nei suoi palazzi è condensata un'umanitĂ precaria, talvolta illegale, spesso alle soglie della povertĂ . tra le sue mura, a tratti carcerarie, si aprono varchi che conducono a inaspettati giardini, biblioteche, centri di aggregazione. in uno di questi varchi si è inserito il Laboratorio Museo di Arte Sperimentale de "Gli Amici", supportato dalla ComunitĂ di Sant'Egidio e diretto dalla giovane Maria Carosio. Parte da qui la nostra esplorazione nel quartiere.
Been stretching tea-stained watercolor paper over wood framing.
The large one is 16"x20" and the small one is 11"x14"
The background to my General Election Piece.
A sheet of hand made paper has been stitched on to a rectangle of calico and then wet and rubbed back in places.
I have then added a stitched red graph on top.
Mixed media.
The first of four hours scheduled for this piece. There is, of course, quite a bit of cleanup to be done at this stage -- and three more hours that will go in to finishing it. I plan to do a touch of freehand on the cloak. Client chose the book for the off hand.
How long does it take to form. tune, and decorate an ocarina of this size? The answer is probably, "Too long to ever recover the time invested". Ultimately, the additional time to bisque fire, glaze, glaze fire (repeatedly) will put the pricing of higher quality pieces out of reach...which is cause for reflecting upon the question, "Why do you really do this?"
