It began as a test strip, mixing watercolor blues and greens. Then I just started having fun with it. Abstracts, are Fun! Watercolor Design Points repetition of shapes I’ve used rectangular, cube shapes throughout; with the cube inside the cube repeated 8 times top to bottom weaving the way through […]
River in oils. Lured in by the colors. Enchanted with its melody and searching for…… gold.
Watercolors in a jiffy… 5 minute color study to create the ‘mood’ and ambience I want. Cool, quiet, chilled out. No worries!
Impressionist, with nearly all soft and loose edges…. just like the morning haze. So long ago. Forest Morning Haze This quick, loose watercolor study was painted from sheer memory.
