Overjoyed, watercolour, 10314in (25.5335.5cm). Using both colour and value, I used the patchquilt technique to indicate the feeling of a tree line. It is highly abstracted yet the colour and value work together to represent the landscape
Sometimes, when I want to paint something fun, lively and bold I turn to a technique I call ‘patch quilt.’ This technique goes by a variety of names such as colour patch, patch against patch and design for flatness. I call it patch quilt because it reminds me of the swatches of colour that quilters sew together when creating their beautiful art and bed linen designs.
