Watercolor

With large flat brushes and plenty of water I approach the paper in slam-bang initial washes, and end with the caress of a butterfly wing. - Frank Webb

PROCESS + EXPERIMENTATION

Watercolor can be unpredictable. Oftentimes I experiment with techniques, colors and brushes before I apply the marks to my art-in-progress. Watercolor is unforgiving! A mark can easily be permanent if left to dry but it can easily be blotted to remove while still wet. Here are some process and experimentation examples:
