It covers a multitude of sins.....
This was a mini canvas where the background had gone wrong. I generally cover my canvases with watercolour or mixed media paper before painting - mostly because I'm too lazy to wait for gesso to dry and I can rip it off if it goes awry - but when I ripped the paper off this, most of it stayed stuck....bring on the rice paper!
Finally, and not a mistake, rice paper is brilliant for covering curved surfaces.All of these samples were made for Louise Withers' IndigoBlu show on Hochanda on Friday 18th May at 12 and 4pm. Be sure to watch, as she's showcasing new acrylic colours and you can see the stunning work from the IndigoBlu design team......and buy some rice paper!

ReplyDeletewell the feeling is mutual, Lou xx
DeleteHelen, is this a different type of rice paper to that on the rolls. I realise there are umpteen rice papers around, and what you have done with this one is beautiful.xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, the IB rice paper is stronger, possibly because it seems to be coated on one side. It doesn't disintegrate as easily so you don't need to be as careful with what you throw at it xx
DeleteFantastic
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you, Ms Blake x
