Working with “purist” watercolor techniques (which means no white or black
paint) my goal is to capture on paper a memorable and creative
visual impression for the viewer. I sketch in my sketchbook making
notes for future paintings and take hundreds of photos that I use for
resource material.
Since my ideas come from many sources I like to have a “painting plan”. Although each painting is different, I begin with a compositional plan of lights and darks in a 2” x 3” value sketch in my sketchbook and proceed to a full-size drawing on my watercolor paper. Using both large and small brushes as well as a “pouring” technique, I add vibrant colors in layers of transparent glazes in a style I call
“impressionistic realism”.
If you look closely at my work, you can see “negative painting” in the osprey’s nest, light “poured” into the water
in "Jellies" and clear transparent “luminous color” in the
seascape paintings of the Florida Keys. Please come to one of the shows and stop by for an art chat. Just click on my 2009 show schedule to find a show near you! I’ll be happy to tell you “How I did that”!
