Sunrise, 2018,
Watercolour, wax resist, and white acrylic on off-white cotton board

Wax resist allows for the use of wax, for example you draw
with one end of a candle.
If you paint over it with water based paint, it will not
adhere to it as the wax resists the colour.
The light lines in the foreground were drawn with wax.
