This is a watercolor painting with mixed media. The watercolor paper was placed over a foam core board, stretched and tacked to stretcher bars and dried completely. When the paper had dried, the painting was created in watercolor with touches of acrylic to pop the color of the flowers. A fixative was sprayed over the painting that had dried completely. A satin varnish will be the final step before the framing process. The benefit of this procedure is glass and matting are not needed and the painting can be framed as if were an oil painting on canvas.
This painting will be available for sale at the Carlisle Arts Learning Center's "Local Scenes exhibit" during Art for the Holidays. The opening reception will be on November 27 at 19 N Hanover Street, Carlisle, Pa. BUY LOCAL, BUY ART!
