A Blue Lavender Meadow

In A Blue-Lavender Meadow - Mary Maki Rae 2016 (c)

******************************************

Have been Experimenting with "Artist Masking Fluid". 

I drew the fluid first onto the white watercolor paper - to represent "Lace" on the Dress (see image below) and the "Flowers" on the Hat.

Then I set the painting aside for the fluid to dry (about an hour or two).

Leaving the Dried fluid on - I painted the Dress - Background - and Flowers.

Then I used a Sponge Technique over the Grass - Sky - and Dress to Blend it all Together.

I'm setting the painting aside again for a while - then I may add a Flower or something else for her hand - If this piece were larger I would add more Flowers in the Grass - I'll do that next time . . . 

Really liked using the Art Fluid technique - and will try it soon on a more "abstract" piece-!

Changed the location of my Paint Table - over closer to the window and I'm enjoying the use of more "Light"-!
