Big Lilac UNStill Life
Paper: Stonehenge White 250gsm

I use 22x30" white Stonehenge as it has a deckle on two sides. I love the edges of the paper, you can see the stacked fibers and it takes acrylic paint really beautifully.

Stonehenge is pretty durable for painting and takes a lot of abuse; water, scratching into with pencils,etc. and also masking with gesso or acrylic paint. If a part of the paper is marked with opaque paint and another part is still unpainted it can be scratched into or incised and then painted with a more watercolor application of acrylics. The original opaque paint acts as a masking for the other watery layers and the contrast is great. It layers beautifully.

My largest ongoing series is called the "UNStill Life" and is painted on Stonehenge paper and also on canvas. The "UNStill Life" series features flower-filled vases in luscious colors with colliding and overlapping pattern. These compositions often defy gravity, proportion and field to deliver a sense of spirited motion.
