Kauppila uses all traditional Chinese materials when creating her paintings. Works are done using traditional Chinese watercolor and Chinese inks, on painting-specific rice paper purchased in both Mainland China and in Hong Kong.
Once paintings are completed, they go through the traditional Chinese mounting process of using rice adhesive and a variety of traditional smoothing brushes to back the paintings onto a stronger rice paper base.
Kauppila works with a local Hong Kong family-operated Chinese mounting business to finalize and prepare the works before they are ready for framing, scanning, and printing.
All orders are final. Once shipped, the products will be delivered within 10 days, subject to changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Returns are subject to Vermillion's Terms & Conditions.
