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. |
