Why I Love Watercolor

FULL OF SPRING
Watercolor 11x15

From the minute I first started painting with watercolors I have loved the interaction of the paint and water. I love the clear, bright colors and the way they flow and mingle over wet paper. I love the fact that you can paint loose and fast and not always know how it is all going to turn out. Then, when the paper is dry, you can come back in with sharp details and defining edges and tidy things up a bit.While watercolor is not as predictable or tidy as other painting methods, I would not trade it for the world!
