Made to Size

Meiwill paint a new original at the size you choose. Each piece is a one-of-one, marked as an Artist's Variant on its COA.

How Mei works

Wet-on-wet, mostly. I work fast when the paper is saturated and slow once it begins to dry. I don't make corrections — a watercolor has one good version of itself and I try to find it the first time. Most pieces are done in a single long sitting, with a few days of rest before I decide whether to sign.
