On my work table, 11.09.2018

For greater freedom and confidence with watercolor, I’ve been working on small studies using watercolor directly on the page, without any drawing in pencil or pen beforehand.  This has been illuminating: while the spontaneity can of course lead to disasters, I am also often much happier with the way that I am able to capture light on form especially.

Here are some examples:

    I love how this technique allows for capturing light and shape so beautifully.
