This is a watercolor of citrus fruits. My intention was to keep my colors bright. I experimented and used a very expensive paper that is used for printmaking I use it when making watercolor, mono-prints. The paper is brilliant white and because it absorbs pigments quickly, my shadows have a layered look to them. In studying Cezanne's watercolors, One can see the way he would apply flat strokes of color. Using lighter colors and then layering his pigments. I used this technique and altered the effect by applying them on wet paper.I am graduating on July 2, 2009. I will be wearing a cap and gown and receive a Doctorate Degree. A Doctor of Spiritual Science. If interested you can check out PTS.org and inquire about the DSS program.

ReplyDeleteIt really comes off bright. Very interesting feel to it. nice job.
ReplyDeleteUn lavoro molto bello, i colori pur se intensi mantengono la trasparenza dell'acquerello, gli accostamenti sono decisi e riusciti, le velature d'ombra creano atmosfera e profondità. Dici che la carta ti ha aiutata, ma tu hai lavorato proprio bene! Ciao.
ReplyDeleteoh, the colors are wonderful, and I love how watercolor-y the whole effect is!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
