I was attending the Watercolor Society of Oregon Fall Convention in Hermiston, OR earlier this month. My husband went out for a hike while I was taking the mini workshops and critiques. He came upon this bird in the brush and scraggily Juniper stumps. We later learned it was a magpie. I love the color and drama he created in his environment and wanted to use my webbing and spraying technique as the background. I chose the colors I thought would reflect the area and then played him up. Still working on the branches. This is painted on a 16x20 AquaBord panel so it is easy to lift and then apply more paint. As I have said before the Dr. Ph. Martin Hydrus Watercolors are staining so you usually can't get back to the white of the board but close. |
AuthorSharing my paintings with others is one of the joys in my life. Educating others about how I paint and the media I use is very important and why I wanted to reach out through this blog. Hope you will add a comment about what you see. What else would you like to see here?. Archives
