Red Bubble has just featured my Anonymous in Spain watercolor in the Art at its Best group.
This is an riginal watercolour painting on Arches 140lb cold pressed watercolour paper that I painted probably over a year ago at least.I used DaVinci and W&N professional grade paints and the finished painting is approximately 14 ” X 19”. I used a photo reference from WetCanvas, an online artist community. Most of the painting was done with the pouring technique.
An old lady hides her identity and her thoughts under a dark umbrella while the Spanish sun is pouring into the stone arcade. Let your imagination provide a face, a soul and a purpose…
Hi Christiane, your watercolours just glow! You colours are simply divine.
ReplyDeleteLove the title and congratulations on the well deserved feature on RB.
I love your inclusion of the poetic description, it resonates with me.. Let your imagination provide a face, a soul and a purpose…

You are always so kind, Perugina! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteso glad to see more of your work.. sure can understand why you are getting featured.. wonderful fresh colors!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Cindi. I do love color!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Christiane, really like the subject and the colors surrounding her.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, this piece surely tells a tale - narrative painting I believe its called. Very strong blues for the darks compare greatly with those soft warm shadow colours you put into your lovely shutters piece which were inspirational.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors on this and your lighting is fantastic. It really draws me in. Congrats!!! Well deserved!!!
ReplyDeleteNora, Joan and Deb:
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind and are making me blush. It feels so nice to be supported this way by fellow artists and bloggers. A heartfelt thank you, ladies.
thanks for sharing your beautiful work! The development photos are particularly interesting, I don't do much in watercolor, but the process is still very informative.
ReplyDeleteKaylyn, I am so glad that you stopped by. I visited your great blog site and see that you have provided some development pictures as well. I especially liked those of the mountain goat. I will visit again and I hope that you will also drop in once in a while.
ReplyDeleteChristiane - as usual your pouring just absolutely glows and I love the combination of colors you have used for this one. The angles and perspective just draw you in to this one.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Barb. I truly appreciate your comment. I painted this painting over a year ago and used a higher percentage of pouring than I have used in my latest paintings. I may return to this approach.
