Handmade paper Seascape Painting Process continued...

After the layers applied in the first two illustrations shown above have dried, I re-grid the surface of the painting and add more detailed information that follows the composition of the original photograph. Notice the brown shapely lines that move through the evolving composition. These new lines act as guides for applying the next layers of pulp such as the green mounts of fauna shown in this image.

The painting shown here, completed in 2009, is entitled North Shore Scape III, 20 x 20 inches and is mounted on 2 inch gator board, no further framing required.
