Dear Shirley May
thanks for nice comments! I wet the paper and put a piece of tissue paper on top and paint the image onto that, then let it get dryish and peel it off, then work back into it, sometimes blocking in the background with white if the initial stages bleed too much. Its a form of printing and use it because the butterfly in that position is very two dimensional looking and I felt needed another approach, its also a way of introducing some of the exciting texture without slavishly copying it! Do you have a website?
