Inspired Masa Paper



Great fun playing around with Masa paper. My artist sister Noreen, saw SrishtiArt's blog posting of working with Masa paper. This inspired her to order it and prepare some for us to try out.
I was surprise how vibrant the watercolor shows up on this, I only did 2 layers and got some very vibrant colors. It also stayed wet longer after applying paint and not much water is needed. I'm excited about doing some more stuff with this paper.

  1. An absolutely and quite stunningly beautiful painting, Sheila. Truly gorgeous. I am intrigued by the paper too. I can't believe you have not one, but TWO artists in your family. Amazing!
