Wildflowers of Riverwalk Park



Once again I picked wildflowers along the beautiful Columbia River in Vancouver WA. This has become an annual tradition for me. When I return to our hotel I put them in a glass and prepare to paint. Using yupo paper I prefer to skip the drawing part and just dive in. This year as I began the phone rang. It was an artist I'd just met in Florida who specializes in using yupo paper. How serendipitous! She told me "more paint, less water". I was able to get a clear, crisp rendition this way. It really works!
