Title
Landscape Reflection Abstraction On Masa Paper
Artist
Conni Schaftenaar
Medium
Painting - Pure Watercolor On Masa Paper
Description
A landscape abstraction created on Masa paper by crinkling up the dry sheet, soaking it in clean water for a few seconds, un-crinkling it and holding it folded in half in my hand (like an open taco shell) and then flooding with a medium wash of a purple watercolor to fill the cracks and create the shoreline, tilted and pulled to create trees and reflections, then laid on a paper substrate that I glued it to, dried thoroughly, and added the colors to represent sky, sun, trees, water.
Masa paper comes with a "smooth" side and a "fuzzy" side. Different artists hold that they like to work on one vs. the other. I have done other pieces where I did the crinkle/color application to create batik-like cracks on the back or "fuzzy" side, dried it, then painted on the smooth "front" side with the batik cracks showing through softly in my painted image.
