Santorini One

I am working on some of the art for the

Greece show coming up. This is one of

the famous blue and white churches on the

island of Santorini. I had seen photos of

these churches, and always hoped I could

take one myself. We were not on the island

long, and I was running around like a maniac

trying to get the shots I wanted. Luckily

there were several churches very close together. I

think this one is stunning in its' simplicity,

and a good subject for a Sunday.

The little bottle of masking fluid is a very

helpful tool when painting in watercolor.

Because there is no white paint, and the

paint itself is transparent, any white you see

in most watercolors is unpainted paper. The

masking fluid helps to save the white paper.

It can be painted on, and it seals the surface,

so you can paint freely around a certain shape

or area. When dry, you just peel it off, like

rubber cement. I will be using it on this piece

to save all of this painted section so I can paint

the ocean freely around it. We'll see if I can

pull it off!
