TERRA INCOGNITO

22x28 gouache on yupo

© 2006

I started this painting vigorously with gouache on yupo paper.  Once dried, the paint sits on the surface and is easily removed with water.  Using a rag or a wet paintbrush I blot the water and remove the underlying paint.  This is the method I use to define the image details.  Terra Incognito alludes to the earth and surface pattern provides the viewer mystery.
