Steps along the way…

Repurposed tulip painting (2022) turned on its side. Original marbled paper design visible.
I begin my new painting here.

Peeled paint daubed on, randomly.
Also, I apply water soluble caran d’ache crayon (white) to position tree, tea house etc.

Trees and reflections in water follow.
Light and shadow contrasts are on my mind.

The finale…three days worth of attention, and perseverance. It’s done.
A sign of welcome for me.
