Mastering watercolor painting traditionally implies a deft control of the inherent fluidity and unpredictability of the medium.
It is exactly those characteristics I exploit, as I build up concentrated layers of color washes, intentional spills, controlled drips, splashes and splatters, to communicate emotion and mood. The mesmerizing surface texture this nontraditional way of watercolor painting creates--as it merges with the rough, heavy paper--is pure ocular delight.
