'Sunday Stroll'

Day 61...... this is a monotype pressed painting with Chincole' using water based inked. The painting is matted and framed in a 16"x20"silver frame.......Chincole' translated means 'Dressing the Doll' It is the art of adding decorative papers to the inks with wheat paste through the press to combine different materials, colors and textures. I have used papers on the red for the apples on the tree and random red pieces. Also, the shawl on the girl and her bright blonde hair are Chincole'd with the paint. I will be posting paintings randomly during the next week or so since my 1st grandaughter will be born on Friday... and I will be onhand to assist. Enjoy! 'Sunday Stroll' Monotype with Chincole'
