Watercolor Weave

Explosion of Wild Roses

Weaving Process:

Paint one painting vertically with lots of detail. Bring it with to the workshop.
Subject matter can be floral, landscape or seascape, portraits don’t work
very well. Keep it simple. We will then paint another very loose painting
horizontally on the same size paper in the workshop. The painting can be
what ever size you choose. I used Arches cold press 140# paper 12X16” for
both of my paintings. When the two paintings are complete we will cut the
detailed painting vertically in strips. The strips can vary in shape and
widths. These strips are attached with artist’s tape to a foam core board with
leaving a little space between each strip. The second painting will be cut
horizontally and the pattern can be wavy and irregular. The weaving begins
and you may rearrange or remove strips, thereby tightening or loosening the
image. Once a final image is established I attach it to a sheet of mat board.
The size of your painting will determine the size of your mat board. I used
20” X 26” colored mat board. You may have to cut pieces or touch up with
paint when you have it put together.

Supply List: Usual supplies, paper, paints, brushes, containers. 1
Completed Watercolor Painting (Your choice of size), Foam core board
(Larger than your painting as you will tape your weave to it.), scissors
(decent), 1” artist tape, glue (Lineco Neutral PH Adhesive in small squeeze
bottle) if you can’t find it you can use Elmers Glue. Your choice and size of
colored mat board (allow about 4” larger on all sides than your painting).
