This is an original painting from my poured watercolor collection. They are created with watercolor, but unlike traditional watercolor paintings, these paintings are created without the use of a brush (except a few final touches at the very end of the process).
Each painting is created by using only three colors, typically red, blue, and yellow. This method involves, pouring the paint straight onto the paper, and then manipulating the paper to allow the colors to mix and create unique, vibrant color combinations on their own…. with just a little bit of help from me. It is a fantastic way to get loose fluid blends of color without the use of a brush. Typically, I apply 4 to 5 layers of poured paint, working gradually getting darker with each consecutive pour. Between each layer, a “rubber protectant” is used to preserve the lighter areas of the previous application of watercolors.
It is always exciting at the end of the process, because 90% of the painting will be covered with the rubber masking. Once completely dry, this rubber protectant is then peeled off revealing the painting below. With a wink and a nod from the watercolor gods, the reveal is a wonderful surprise, and a colorful, unique painting comes to live.
Each original painting will come matted and framed and ready to hang. Please allow 2-3 weeks for orders to be received as they must be carefully packaged and shipped so they arrive in the perfect condition to their new home.
