Watercolour on Fabric

A cousin of my husband is back from a two year mission in France and we were supposed to all meet at an aunt and uncle's place tonight.  Unfortunately, one of Taffy's grandchildren was hospitalized and she didn't make it down here.  Our visit has been postponed; but I was able to work on the second stage of my fabric painting. 

Step 2:  This time, the paint isn't watered down as much and you paint on dry fabric.  The colours are deepened and shading is added.  The background hasn't been touched yet.

 

 

There is still some bleeding of the colours into surrounding areas.  The background will be varying degrees of blue and should absorb much of the bleeding.
