While living in Japan I visited Kyoto many times. Each time I hoped to glimpse the beautiful Geisha (referred to as Maiko and Geiko in Kyoto) as they walked to work or classes. We always kept a respectful distance so many of the photos are taken from the back…allowing us to enjoy the gorgeous kimonos they wear. Geisha is one of my favorite subjects to paint. This is a 10×8 inch canvas treated to accept watercolor. It was my first time trying this substrate. I used a spray varnish to protect it so that it doesn’t require glass in the frame. I love how there is no glare to look through.
