My friend Katherina who is a force of nature (and a force FOR nature) founded the Whales of Guerrero project 10 years ago. https://www.whalesinmexico.com/
I made this art piece for the recent auction/ fundraiser. It measures approx. 11”x16”, and is made from 5 layers of 1/8” russian birch ply. Each layer is watercolor painted with a different shade of blue.
Very pretty! I’ve been working on a stacked one lately myself, and planned to do the graded colors. Did you put a finish on it after?
I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I sprayed a light finish on each layer after the paint, but before the final assembly. Mainly to seal the wood and to maintain the integrity of the watercolor. I still wanted it to look somewhat natural and unfinished.
Chuckle! At the rate I’m going it’s going to take a looooooong time. The design keeps changing it’s mind about what it wants to be. 
Nice look on the finish though, I’ll have to try to remember that if I ever get the thing cut.
What a beautiful piece for a beautiful project.
That’s gorgeous and such a great cause! I need to think about doing some stacked pieces. 
The blues are so pretty! I’d definitely bid on that!
This is gorgeous! The contrast of the blue against the light wood is just lovely!
That is awesome! I have been to Mexico to work with her and her team. It’s an amazing experience!
Oh no way! Kat is such a dear friend of mine. So cool that you have gotten to be a part of that team!
