| Fistful watercolor 6 x 9 |
from oils to watercolors. Where I live, in Ohio, the year is divided into four distinct seasons...weather-wise, food-wise, and attitude. This I love. Because my painting loves are equally divided between oils and watercolors, I switch up mediums seasonally. I have tried to do both simultaneously and it just doesn't work....for me. Different feels, different clean ups, different approaches. Too confusing.
Enter Spring.....I decided to do just a couple of small ditties to whet my watercolor appetite and to rid myself of the fear of the white paper. No formal set-ups....just a fistful of blooms from our yard. I was so happy to be painting this work and opposed the transparent pigments of the blooms with a more opaque handling of the background....just chalky like I like it. Fistful.
