STRANGE DAYS, INDEED

After more than 30 years of watercolor experience, Diana M Davis' originals can be found in businesses and private collections throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. She loves the freedom and excitement of watercolor and uses the traditional style along with different techniques to express herself.
Good golly, Diana! This technique is stunning!!! I don't quite get the method of sticking the brush under the plastic so hopefully you can explain a bit more when you get your computer to rights.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can do a system recovery on it? I recently did that to mine and while you lose everything you had on the computer (so save it to a memory stick or email it to yourself before doing the recover), it restores everything to how it was originally when you bought it. Worked like a charm for me.
Hi Diana, sorry about your computer problems.
ReplyDeleteI tried that saran wrap thing last year and loved it.
Said I was going to do more but forgot about it.
Thanks for reminding me... it makes a lovely background.

Oh good grief, I just wrote an epistle. and it's gone. Maywyn thank you the vacuuming helped. BJ, thank you too. and Sherry thank you and here's the directions --Wet your Watercolor paper totally, take your saran wrap and stretch or wrinkle and place on your paper. It's supposed to have ridges of saran wrap sticking up. Wet a juicy brush with lots of color and stick it into the tunnel or ridge of the sw. Then place down on your watercolor paper, this causes the color to run only where the ridges are.. it's fun.. try another color, if you want the color to move pick up the paper and gently tilt it.. Hope this helps. hugs and love to each of you,Diana
ReplyDeleteDear Diana - lovely technique - one I tried years ago and must try again. Thank you so much for sharing. I am really sorry about your computer...not good with those type of problems - wish you the best in getting everything working again soon. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHi Diana! Thank you for your lovely comment on the hollyhocks. I became so absorbed in it, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. Very glad to hear that you do!!! :)
