ARRAY OF DAISIES
Watercolor on yupo - 14x18
Realistic art aims to replicate nature and abstract art doesn't have a definable focus. When you combine these two elements to create an abstract impression of nature you get abstract realism.
Realistic abstraction is the perfect style to let watercolor create loose, free shapes, The challenge is to know when to stop trying to control the paint and when to let go.
I painted Array of Daisies on yupo paper where the slick surface allows the watercolor to flow freely and creat wonderful, bright colors. I then used some stamping and negative painting to define the daisies and leaves. Abstract realism at its best!
