Thanks Iynn. I never get bored of watching the pigment create organic shapes. I do a lot of rough "trial and error" so I can get comfortable with trying to corral the watercolour paints. Always a lot of fun . . . at times.

This is sublime and reminds me of the work by the absolutely amazing Lena Gemzoe. I already loved the fact that you demonstrate what breathtaking outcomes are possible when an artist opts to use a very limited palette. And so to see you embracing this wonderful "highwire watercolour technique" - that's awesome bro! (Which is one of the highest forms of praise here in New Zealand!)

Hi Sharon, big thanks for the positive comment. And yes, Lena Gemzoe is a big influence for me. You should also check out the work of Kanta Harusaki. Awesome watercolour artist! KZbin is full of great influence's. The technique of elevating the paper to allow the watercolour pigment and water to do there thing is very rewarding to watch. I've tried this technique in the past with disastrous results. I have learnt, less is more in this medium. Hope you enjoy following along as I evolve my art. You never know where the journey will end up👍

@@look4light - Thank you so much for pointing me in the direction of Kanta Harusaki. I've been binge-watching all of his posts on KZbin and you're absolutely right to apply that (hallowed) word "awesome" in relation to this artist and his art. Several of his pieces even brought tears to my eyes. And it wasn't just the astonishing end results that affected me so but simply witnessing his sheer mastery of his chosen medium as well. It's like he's wrangling water, pigment and paper to produce effects I never thought possible with watercolour. Awesome... By the way, are your pieces available to buy somewhere online?

@look4light 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Michele, I experiment with many different items to apply paint. Most of the time, if not a brush. I will use a palette knife. With this painting I wanted to try a different applicator. The cardboard was close at hand. In the past I have used sticks and steelwool. Anything that will create an organic feel to the painting.
