My Paint Rag

Sometimes when I’m done watercoloring I like my paint rag as much as I like my painting. Most often it’s a swatch of an old t-shirt or washcloth, as long as it’s absorbent cotton. In this case it’s a folded paper towel because it was handy, but that adds to the visual interest because the layers are so saturated with water and transparent color that they have become translucent and blur together.
