Peel-back Watercolor

For this project, I was told to find an image of a place I identified with. I chose a picture of a treehouse because I like the forest and I used to love climbing trees and I've always wanted a treehouse. I put the photo on photoshop, made it just 2 colors (black and white), and printed it it. Then I used a light table to trace the image in pencil. Then I used adhesive paste and painted the sections of the image I wanted white with it. Then I used watercolors to paint the background that I didn't use the paste on. I used blue, green, and purple for the background because darker colors contrast white more. Then I peeled off the paste which had dried and hardened which left the tree and the treehouse all white.
