Originals

Silk - Each silk painting is handpainted by Kathy Crabbe on 100% Chinese, Charmeuse or Crepe de Chine silk with American and French dyes using watercolor & Asian brushes. The line work is applied with a special squeeze tube containing gutta resist - a rubber based medium.

Watercolor/Gouache - I paint with Daniel Smith, Holbein/Irodori, Grumbacher, M. Graham, Maimeri, Sennelier, Winsor Newton and Yatsutomo brands on various fine grades of watercolor board and paper.

Acrylics on wood - Each original is painted on 1/2" MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard). First I apply a coat of Utrecht acrylic gesso to prime and protect the wood surface and provide a permanent non-yellowing ground. I then paint with an assortment of mixed media primarily Golden Brand acrylics with additions of colored inks and pencil, conte and watercolor. The sides and back are also painted and each piece is titled, dated and signed by Kathy Crabbe.

Originals with Mat - Originals are matted with 100% acid free Crescent Ragboard in a choice of 3 colors: cream, blue, or medium blue.
