Watercolors

I have tried many different mediums, taking classes and workshops. Some of my older 2-dimensional watercolor work is below:

Watercolors:

The lily was a project in applying colors with wet tissue paper and then finding the painting from the abstract shapes. The seascape was a project in using a plastic credit card to create grasses, etc., then I let the paint run as I rotated the paper to get the rainy sky.

We had to go through a watercolor book and find an artist we wanted to emulate. Of course, I’d pick someone that spent hours layering color upon color, letting each layer dry in between.
