I had a selection of japenese paper, ( mixed in with my origami papers.Some had flecks in ( like the handmade papers you can buy) I think it is called yushi. Also some bamboo,some shiraccaba, masa, hosho and kozo.
I decided to paint watercolour on them, mainly because I had no idea of what else to use them for, I decided it was better than binning them. After I made a complete mess, I left them to dry. I think they took to the watercolour remarkably well, after dry I decided to paint on one, of course a hare.

Thanks Cynthia, yes I thought so too, which enhances a basic pen sketch, it’s always good to throw in some adorable colours that I don’t usually use often, washes are a perfect place to get colourful, in my brown world 😀

I think it’s really beautiful Rebecca. It’s a hare in a cool colorful snowstorm.

Thank you Laura….I like that idea, snowstorm, I will have to remember that for another painting, in fact maybe a hare in the snow?

Thank you Charlie, it was also nice and quick, although that could be down to the tiny piece of paper, unlike the A3 I usually use. My daughter even loved this….no criticism today, I jumped up and down like an excited child ( or chimpanzee, there were a few loud animal shreeks).
