Art on Paper

About this painting: I created the interesting pumpkin skin texture by building layers of wet on wet paint with drying time in between each layer so I didn't get mud. When I added the final layer of wet on wet I also added a little table salt sprinkled on damp watercolor paint this creates a delicate flower-like spot. Each crystal of salt chases away the pigment to make a lighter area beneath it. You can use this for texture in many different kinds of watercolor painting. When the paint drys brush off all the salt. Pumpkins 12x9 click here to buy All Work ©2006-2016 Art by Delilah

Aceos , Artist trading cards are a wonderful way to share the Holidays with your friends. Christmas is on it's way and so are a few of my Holiday aceos. We have sad Christmas Birds: Fun Funky little Christmas Rooster: Fat Cats Playing in the Snow: And what would Christmas be like with out a few fairies and elves to add some twinkle to the tree: And all through the house not a creature was stirring, well maybe a mouse: It would be a rare bird that did not like Christmas: So put on your snow cloths and go out and have some fun.
