Painting - Watercolor On Arches Paper
Description
There is something magical when colors come together on the paper. As they mingle, they create shades you cannot find in a tube. I love to work wet-into-wet to get the most out of watercolor. This painting sat in the bin, needing something to wake it up. I often use my work as a way to teach shadows, reviving problem paintings and adding drama with background color. This was one such painting. The shapes are not standard and the shadows pronounced but put together, it becomes pleasing to the eye.
