Drawing #120: "Pointing Pierrot in Ultramarine Blue, No.1" [Oil Paint on Beeswaxed Midori A5 paper]

Ink and oil paint on a cream-colored sheet of Midori MD A5 Pad Paper with its signature corner notch.

Part of an ongoing experiment with hand-waxing paper with beeswax and the ways such pieces take color.

The drawing has been treated with hot USP refined white beeswax, making it water-proof and durable. After the beeswax treatment, a thin layer of ultramarine oil paint was then applied to the wax and allowed to dry for several months, leaving the paper vibrant and translucent.
