Sunset Behind the Mountains - Paper Towel Art


This picture is made with watercolored paper towels. I first wet the plain white paper toweling and laid it flat, tearing it into several pieces. While it was still damp or semi-saturated, I began distributing different colors of watercolor and watched it migrate across the wet toweling. Adding different combinations of color in the same hue gave it a lot of variation. When dry, I began to tear and place the pieces until I came up with the above image. They are attached minimally to allow the tops of the pieces to float above the base cardstock. The finished size is 6" X 7".
