"Southwestern Pots" - Watercolor Batik by Martha Kisling
SOUTHWESTERN POTS
Original Watercolor Batik - 15x21
If you subscribe to my newsletter you already got a sneak peek at this watercolor batik of southwestern pottery and blankets. The fibers in the rice paper and the batik technique lend itself perfectly to the aged look of the subject matter - I also love how all the wax drips and spatters add a feel of texture.

Watercolor Collage Workshop - Martha KIsling
CACTUS BLOOM
Watercolor Collage
I had a Watercolor Batik Workshop last Saturday with a wonderful group of students. It is always so much fun to spend the day with other artists and to see their excxitement when they iron off the final layers of wax on their batiks and get to see the results of their creative efforts. So far (knock on wood) everyone who has tried the watercolor batiks has gone home happy!
The next workshop will be on Sat. Sept 17, 2011 in Colorado Springs, CO and we will be doing a Watercolor Collage similar to the one shown above. We will spend the day painting tissue and rice papers and then incorporating them into a watercolor painting of cactus and flowers. Hope you can join us for another fun and creative day!

"Summer Medley" by Mixed Media Artist Martha Kisling
SUMMER MEDLEY
Original Watercolor & Oil Pastel - 11x15
The Creative Challenge this week was to use a resist in your artwork. I used oil pastel with watercolor because the waxy nature of the pastel will repel the paint. I began the painting by drawing with different colors of oil pastel and then applied the watercolor. When everything was dry I added some more detail with the pastel and then add darks with the paint where needed.

"Sweet Nature" by Martha Kisling
SWEET NATURE
Original Watercolor Collage - 11x15
Soft, white blossoms floating in a sea of leaves. I collaged on thin pieces of rice paper around the flowers to add interest and texture to the background. When I came back in to reinforce the darks, the paint reacted in unpredictable ways on and around the areas with rice paper. Combining collage with watercolor provides endless possibilities for creativity.

"Music of Love" - Watercolor Collage by Martha Kisling
MUSIC OF LOVE
Original Watercolor & Collage - 11x15
This painting began as a class demo for painting roses. I later came back to it and decided to experiment and used bubble wrap to stamp some texture in the background with green watercolor and randomly collaged on some very thin pieces of rice paper. I then used white gesso on a stamp with musical notes and one with the word 'love' to add some fun to the composition.
