Still Searching And Learning

“Learning is the beginning of wealth. 

Learning is the beginning of health. 

Learning is the beginning of spirituality. 

Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.” 

~ Jim Rohn

This is a 5 x 7" painting on Yupo paper, matted to 8 x 10" - It is a Birch Tree / Pour Lesson - for tomorrow's Sandarosa Studio Class - "To mask, or not to mask, that is the question".... Both techniques will be demonstrated and practiced. These trees were done by masking the trees before pouring the background.

These trees were done without masking by lifting the ink from the poured ink background.
