Several years ago, I saw an article about a watercolor artist who started her
paintings by freezing the paper and paint to get these beautiful, feathery ice patterns.
I didn't pay much attention to the process and it turns out it is more involved than
just putting a wet piece of paper out in the cold. I tried a few different variations on
the amount of water, paint, time and this is the best I came up with. I would keep
trying, but it also turns out it is really uncomfortable to be messing with water out
in the freezing temperatures!
Tilly agrees with the frickin freezing temperatures thing. I've been
thinking all day how to show all this snow as being COLD. Poor Tilly,
sacrificing for art once again.
