I do make a few decisions before I begin my paintings. I first choose the composition I wish to work with (how the painting will be laid out on the page) then I select my colors. The color selection is very important to me and I make swatches of the colors I’m considering so I can see how they work together. I play with them at full strength and diluted and I mix and mingle them to see what the combinations will look like. Here are two paintings I did using only watercolors.
- Faces at the Oasis
- Birds of a Feather
Geometric shapes and animals often show up in my paintings. I like mixing natural elements with structural ones.
