Watercolors are a wonderful medium to be playful and explore new shapes, values and colors in a vibrant and exciting way. They are also a medium that requires a plan which is developed in stages to create desired effects. Whether I am painting watercolors as an expressive exercise or I am developing a well thought out painting I am always very interested in the light source, the negative and positive spaces, the layering of colors and the vibrancy of the white paper bouncing back through the pigment.
