The hot weather is getting to me! I went wild with colour today and this is what happened. I think the title says it all!
Watercolours on Fabriano extra white hot pressed paper, painted mostly wet in wet with details added once dry.
I have a passion for watercolours and love to play with colour, exploring the effect of combining pigment and water on the paper. Challenging the traditional view that watercolours are pale and washy, I love vibrant colour used in exciting combinations. I am especially drawn to flowers, their three dimensional forms presenting endless challenges.
I won the SAA Amateur Artist of the Year 2012 for my painting “Cosmic Poppies”.
