Recipe: Take one real grape leaf. Cover leaf with liquid latex and press leaf onto watercolor paper. Press down to 'print' the leaf. Let dry. Remove leaf. Paint with watercolor - the latex will preserve the veins and leaf shape. Remove latex. Collage with rice paper. Have fun adding color with watercolor, acrylic inks, water soluble crayons - designing a colorful background. Voila! Available at Upstairs Art Gallery, Healdsburg. Art imitates life.......A happy customer emailed this pic of my Red Gravenstein painting hanging in her dining room. Paying homage to the Gravenstein apple, a local variety which Sebastopol is celebrated for. Thanks Carol!
