Sweet Dreams


This is a painting done on gesso.  I cover the watercolor paper with gesso, then add paint and use whatever I can to add texture to the surface.  This is what the surface looks like before I begin
 
The next step is to transfer the drawing.  Using water and a brush I remove paint from the paper in the areas that I want to stay white.  I paint in the dark areas with more paint.  I love to use this technique as it creates great mood in a painting.
