In the Studio, what's next

Paintings in the works...from the Studio

Lalita Lyon Cofer

This is how the painting starts with a prepared canvas that has the metal leafing and stain applied over it...

Sometimes the painting on rice paper comes first...sometimes it is the prepared canvas that initiates the image to come... often the painting on rice paper is ripped apart in sections before it is applied on the canvas.

Here a new painting is coming along...with the torn apart bits of painting on rice paper and the stained tissue lying loosely on the surface of a white canvas

the hand stained papers
