Paintings in Watercolor & Mixed Media

Palette Talk #2

Watercolor

I decided to paint what was right in front of me: my curvy, artistic palette, brushes, paint and water jar.  The shapes of the pigment splotches were interesting, but very difficult to paint. Also, the wet paint splashes on the palette were a challenge. Sometimes you never think about painting the obvious!  The shadow patterns added to the design element, drawing the viewer’s eye into the composition along with the large two-inch brush in the foreground.  Somehow these elements evolved into a small series of paintings — a break from my usual glassware.

Exhibited in Watercolor II: Paper & Pigment 2012, The Foundry, St. Charles
