CABIN FLOWERS - Creative Challenge - Resist

CABIN FLOWERS
Watercolor & Mixed Media - 11x14

Watercolor paper is designed to let the moisture of the paint soak into the paper to create soft or hard edges. Oil pastels can be used to act as a resist so that the paint will not soak into the paper. For Cabin Flowers I used different shades of oil pastel for the flowers and leaves in the foreground, the evergreens in the background and for extra color on the cabin. I also collaged on some tissue for a true mixed media painting.
