The Watcher

Katherine Hutchinson

This painting is a watercolor batik on ginwashi rice paper.  Just as fabric batik is a wax resist process, so is watercolor batik.  This was painted in layers with wax resist, applied as each layer was added.

The rice paper adds a unique texture to the subject.

I love watching blue herons. They have been a subject of a  number of pieces of my artwork.  I have painted them in standard watercolor.  They have been the subject of fused glass pieces that have been included in lanterns, so it just seemed natural to create a painting with this batik method. They always seem to be such patient watchers.
