Painting - Watercolor On Paper

Description

This was an interesting painting for me in that I allowed myself only 45 minutes, a limited palette, and the largest squirrel mop brush I had in order to complete it. I did a lot of the piece very wet and let the paint bloom and backrun in order to create interesting effects and texture. I also started the painting by laying in the dark background and then painting every bit of the rose yellow as a base from which to work. I like the end result! The original piece is 14" x 10" in size and is painted entirely with Sennelier watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper.

I love how the blooms work so well in this piece & the colors in the rose are gorgeous. By allowing ones self such a limited amount of time, it helps to keep a piece from being overworked. You've never had that problem anyway....only illustrating a point.

Ken Powers replied:

Thank you Marsha! I agree that a time limit really forces one to avoid overworking a piece. Watercolor can definitely be finicky when it gets overworked!

Ken, I think this is my most favorite of all! Superb painting! I love the scrumptious muted colors, and of of course, your usual dark background that makes it work.

Ken Powers replied:

Thank you Bette! This was definitely a fun piece to paint and the yellow underlayment really makes it glow!
