In Japanese design I particularly like the flat planes of color, the beautiful designs found on kimonos, and the simplicity of the overall composition. Last year I started painting Japanese watercolors using a pseudo woodblock technique. First I drew my image on watercolor paper. I then masked the entire piece of paper using frisket leaving only the lines exposed. I followed this by painting the entire page with black acrylic. I then removed the frisket and was left with a rough image, often a surprise. Applying the watercolor and some detailed design followed.
