After the steamer disaster, I had to rework details on my three Winter Tree Series. Back came the Magic Sizing- and I drew in details in faded and blurred areas. Then steamed again…
Next, back came the stencils! At this point, they were pretty soggy, but I did my best. Also, I tried to keep pace with two other paintings, also at the stencil stage- so I did a lot of paper cutting. For one area, I wanted a soft misty effect. I tried to use cotton balls, pulled apart until wispy, to mask an area. And- it worked! 
Let's talk silk painting!
