Jersey Tomatoes

These tomatoes were painted with watercolor washes on regular old sketchbook paper. Each successive wash (if allowed to dry thoroughly) just strengthens the paper. It took me years of trial and error to figure that out – D’oh!

Frances, thanks. I haven't tried painting directly on fabric but am intrigued by the idea, now that you mention it. There was an article in a recent issue of Quilting Arts magazine that showed how to paint with Neocolor II Watersoluble Crayons on fabric and then free-motion stitch. That is on my "to do" list...
