Rusty Razor
I found this old razor blade while taking a walk and for some reason the character of it appealed to me. It is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The character of these paints coupled with the coarse grain of this paper help to add to the rusty texture of the piece.

The paper textures are amazing. I love that the darker hues are in line with the razor slash point and then fade out to the otherside. really good. fav of course :-)
