Sun Prints, Without the Sun!

In this episode of Tune in Tuesday, I’m experimenting with sun prints - without the sun! 🌤️ Since my studio is surrounded by trees, I found a way to make gorgeous sun print‑style collage papers right indoors using watercolors, shimmer sprays, stencils, and Yupo paper. The results are unexpected, magical, and full of texture. This demo is all about following curiosity and trusting the process.
