FUSCHIAS FUCHSIAS EXPERIMENT

FUCHSIAS/FUSCHIAS....EXPERIMENT
This is an old painting I was never satisfied with, so I decided to use it as an experiment with Unryu Rice paper.
I tore the rice paper into interesting shapes and laid the rice paper over the painting.
I diluted Acrylic Matte Medium by 50% with water. Using an old brush I painted the Matte Medium over the rice paper until it adhered to the
painting.
I like the interest the rice paper threads give to this painting.
The painting is Mixed Media using Watercolor, Ink, and Oil pastels.
This is another idea from Rose Edin's book ''COLOR HARMONIES...PAINT WATERCOLORS FILLED WITH LIGHT''

I spelled Fuchsias/Fuschias two ways because I find that there are now two acceptable ways to spell it!!!!
I guess it is kinda like Ketchup...if you spell something ''wrong'' long enough, society will eventually accept/change it.
Maybe some of you might be old enough to remember when ''Ketchup'' was spelled ''Catsup"...:) :)
