“To find an alternative approach, I started with a fascination.”

Fascinated with the crackle pattern created in batik fabrics, I researched and experimented with different materials and techniques to incorporate this pattern into my watercolor paintings. In Sea Turtle this was the foundation used to capture the rippling shadows cast from the sun shining through the soft waves above. I painted a thin layer of melted wax onto 90-lb. (190gsm) cold-pressed paper. After scrunching the paper to create cracks, I sprayed it with India ink. Once dried, I ironed off the wax and proceeded to paint the sea turtle and surrounding ocean using bright, vivid tropical colors.
