Kate's Updates: New painting -In-Progress

Old Fishing Lures, Part Two
This is the latest piece I'm working on, inspired by the watercolor show at the Marin Art & Garden Club.
The California Watercolor Association put on the 42nd show and it's brilliant: the pieces are a far cry from the usual flowers and pastels one normally associates with watercolor. The winning piece, Let Your Fingers Do the Walking, is painted on Yupo, a synthetic paper, utilizing collage (see first page of the Association's web page).
Unfortunately, the mask I used was a bit too old and it rubbed off the top layer of paper, making lifting and glazing a wee bit more difficult! I still have some mask on the uppermost painted lure, so we'll see what happens when I lift that out. This piece is fun but challenging with all the pieces and planning I am doing.
