Description A test-study for Pastelmat paper to see how well watercolor washes and acrylic stains apply (and/or absorb)
On top i used pastels (in two different forms)

I kept getting the feeling that the specific paper was kind of repelling the water creating psychedelic patterns all over. It was a pleasant surprise.

That's perfect, I have to say it's the best painting you have painted in last months. I really love how you worked with colours, shades you chose are beautiful, it has dynamics, passion and warning too, completely nice!

it happened very fast (you know how watercolors behave anyway) the paper did most of the work i think
i love strong vivid colors, i was lucky to see the washes do my bid for once.

I was going to ask if you tried a new technique, but I see it's only the paper. amazing how the paper impacts the final result -
this looks like oils!

great work

trying out new techniques is something that i love doing, every single day if possible
also trying out new art supplies is so much exciting as a process!!! and every time i believe its so rewarding.

Yaay Christina! Love your color choices... they speak loudly to me.

The Title is cool... makes me wonder if the breasts or her hands ask the question.

its an amazing paper my friend, the things it does with water...i love it.
although i think you might be biased here as its in my knowledge, nipples showing through a wet t shirt does something to men.
