This lovely little building is currently home to Lorien Herbs and Natural Foods, in Spokane, WA, where I was born and raised."Cambern Dutch Shop Windmill is a historic commercial building constructed in the shape of a windmill at 1102 S. Perry in Spokane, Washington, United States. It was built in 1929 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[2]"
This demo by Linda Baker should help with understanding the process. It's complicated...A detailed drawing is gradually masked off in stages, beginning with the lightest values, and the masking is followed by pouring red, yellow and blue liquid mixtures over the work surface allowing the paint to mix naturally. Excess paint is poured off and the piece allowed to dry completely before the next darkest value is masked off, and the process is repeated until desired depth of value is achieved. The masking is then peeled away and any fine details are done with traditional brush techniques. It's a surprising and quite unpredictable process, a bit tedious (a painting can take anywhere from 3-6 days), but it has been terrifically rewarding and has resulted in some of my favorite pieces.
