8 x 10 Watercolor (frisket removed)This is the challenge for Different Strokes From Different Folks a site hosted by Karin Jurick,
As you can see VEGETABLES were the subject. In these challenges I had the desire to try to stretch myself with medium or technique. The background was done with a lot of Frisket, like a cake. Some frisket some paint, more frisket and color and so on. the idea was to cover some area at the time .Then it is all removed. If any one has ever done batik this is the same thing.
When finished I touched it up a little.

Leigh, Thanks, your welcome
Beautiful work, very nice stylization in your approach and technique!
Wow! This turned out wonderful. I love the frisket, but I especially like the texture on your vegetables. The tomatoes almost look like apples, and the skin on the onions looks so papery.
The Bull,
Thanks, it was fun to paint except taking off the frisket.
Deb,
Thanks I appreciate your comment.
Dominique, Beautiful texture and color . I really enjoy seeing all the different interpretations of the DSFDF challenges. Happy Painting!!!!!!
Judith,
Thanks for coming by. Yes all the different interpretations are wonderful.
Dominique,
Not being a watercolorist. I had trouble seeing where you applied frisket. thne notices how the back ground was nuch lighter. You must have covered most of the table with frisket to lay in the darks in the wood grin. Good Job.
Phil
Dominique, je trouve cette aquarelle très réussie, mais je n'ai pas très bien compris le sens de "frisquet".
Merci pour ton commentaire sur mon blog.
Phillip,
Yes the background was mainly done with frisket but basically it is a glue for paint so you put it where you do not want to paint to go on. When done you take it off. It is mainly used for watercolor but it might work in other medium.
Some area on the tomatoes and onions had some too. Which made those blotches.
Sylviane,
C'est une sorte de cole pour aquarelle. Peut etre tu peut lire ce que j'ais dis a Phillip.
Merci pour venir sur mon blog.
hat a great challenge for yourself and great piece of art.
I love your background texture. Also, I love your watercolor approach on this painting. The added purple in the corn is great. Thank you for commenting and visiting my blog! I really appreciate it.

dominique.. thank you for stopping by my blog.. love how you did your dsdf.. great idea with the frisket... thanks for sharing.. looks like we are from the same area...
Cindi,
Great having you come by also. I will leave a message on yours again. Thanks
Beautiful, Dominique! And you made the process sound like fun. Thanks for sharing! Watercolor is a difficult medium but you certainly control it!
Dominique, thanks for your kind words about my work and thanks for being the latest follower of my blog! I see that you are a fellow muralist as well. :) You are very talented and are wonderfully proficient in many different mediums. Great job!
Rosemarie,
That's kind of funny because every-time I see an awesome watercolor I always tell myself I don't want to work with that medium it's too hard. Thanks.
Tracie,
Nice to hear your a fellow muralist too. That might be my problem I like too many things. Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful job, Dominique.
Edward,
You are someone we can all count on . Thank you
This is beautiful bon appetit! I love all of your work.
Dominique, I absolutely love the papery texture you got in the corn husks and the onion skins. This is just beautiful!
Beautiful job Dominique! Love those purple shadows.
Irit,
Thank you your sweet.
Claire, Thank you so much for your nice comment.
hissnhowl,
These are always so nice to do and learn from. Thank you
Wish I knew what frisket is...this is wonderful Dominique!
DANA,
Frisket is a sort of glue that can be used to cover an area that you do not want the paint to touch and when your done you just rub it off sort of like Rubber Cement.( I never tried RC maybe it would work).Wherever you paint the frisket on the paint will not go through to the paper. I hope this helps. Thanks for coming by.
The background turned out nicely, i think i might try this technique sometime - thanks for sharing.
It's great, dominique! I love seeing your experimentation w/the medium and frisket. very cool.
Love the wood grain effect.
Priti,
Thanks, I appreciate you coming by.
Liz,
It is fun to try new things, Thanks .
Nice job, and great idea with the frisket. I can't wait to try.
Maria,
Thanks, I can't wait to see what you do with the frisket.
Beautiful work, Dominique, as always! You've sure created a gorgeous background using Frisket. I love it!!

Dominique-thanks for stopping by my blog. You are a master with the frisket! Your painting came out great. Also-I just saw your self portrait on ArtistsPaintThemselves blog. What a riot-that made my day.
wow, wonderful painting and in watercolor too, my hat off to you.
Ann Gorbett,
Thanks for coming by . That self portrait made ME laugh too. I couldn't resist doing it.
Diana,
Do you believe watercolor is my least favorite medium, it's true. But I keep going back to it. Go figure. Thanks for coming by.
Love the background and all the textures in your entry. If I grab one of those onions, the dry skin will crackle, I'm sure!
Dominique,
Thanks for stopping by my blog as often as you do and for the kind comments you make. I love your painting. The textures you create are wonderful. I especially love the tomotoes and corn. and I love the onions too. This is wonderful

Wow, Dominique...you really did an outstanding job with this one. Sorry I've been such a stranger, lately..I need about 10 more hours in the day.
James, Thanks, can I have 10 more hours too !!!
I like the texture you created for your background using frisket. Very nice handling of the vegetables in watercolor, Dominique! I love your colors and the purple shadow! Great Job!
