My painting process begins with high quality hot press paper. I then apply thin layers of watercolor pigments layer by layer. I use single pigment paints and precious minerals and the result implies depth and movement. When complete, I mount the paper to a wooden panel and apply several thin layers of a resin wax to seal it. The result is ready to hang as is, or can be framed in a float frame. The wax protects the piece so it doesn’t require glass and can be enjoyed directly similar to an oil painting.
