Street Art and Watercolor by Cristin

This week has been really busy... my local allied arts council commissioned me to paint a traffic box! It's a week long process that started on Sunday, and it will end on Friday with a reception. I've been going out to the street corner everyday to add more work to it and it is coming right along. Here's some progress shots so far: 

When it came time to do the Artistcellar project for this week it was a nice break to get back to working on a flat surface.. and WATERCOLORS!

I started with mineral paper (of course, I'm in love) and a quick sketch. I was inspired by the song, "My Body is A Cage."

Once I had the sketch where I wanted it, I put down some Artistcellar stencils and watercolors. Here I'm using Quasicrystals, Sacred Geometry 2 and Cathedral Plans.

I let the stencils sit on the paper until the watercolor was dry.  Once the watercolors were totally dry I finished with acrylic paint. Overall, a nice easy colorful project to work on and relax!
