NEW SERIES - WATER COLOUR WOR K SHOP: 1ST OF 6
There are many of genres of art and many media to paint them with. My art is traditional realist tonal impressionist watercolour and I paint both in the studio and en plein air, the latter being the more difficult yet more rewarding by far. I paint full-sheet, big-view watercolours but I learned that spontaneity and painting in the fast alla-prima way is essential to capturing the magic, mood, light and emotion of the subject. When viewing a subject there is a lot of excess information that is not required for the painting to be successful.
