SF: "7 layer salad"



How great is it that the Studio Friday challenge includes the word 'playtime'? Especially as I was playing around yesterday with layering negative space in watercolors as background. There are seven layers of blues and purples (including the foundation wet in wet abstract). I'm still working out how to paint this way, but it's fun in the meantime.

Working with negative spaces in watercolor takes some skill. You did good.
I like!

Tranquil describes this perfectly...colors and wavy lines - very organic and soft.
