One of the art galleries in Bellport that our groups use for shows has closed. My friend, LuAnn owns the building which also includes her shop, Bellport Art and Framing which is next door. LuAnn is reopening the gallery as the Paper Cup Studio which will have exhibits, classes, and gatherings. When the gallery reopens next month one of the things she plans on exhibiting for the opening are hand decorated/painted paper cups. I picked up four cups from LuAnn and have finished the first two. I am painting them with what else...watercolors. It is a challenge because the watercolor drips and pools as the cup edge turns so I have to paint it slowly and let it dry a bit before I turn it to continue painting. I am showing a few views around each cup. You can see one is a floral and one is an undersea design. I haven't decided if I'm going to spray them with a fixative or not. I'll have to test it out on a sample cup to make sure it doesn't drip and ruin the design. I'll keep you posted.
