Watercolors - blockmounted originals

I am always between two currents of thought: first the material difficulties, turning round and round and round to make a living; and second, the study of color. I am always hoping to make a discovery here, to express the feelings of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of kindred tones. To express the thought behind a brow by the radiance of a bright tone against a somber background. To express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset glow.

These pictures are created with three colors only - that is, with two shades each of blue, red and yellow. I use Stockmar Watercolors exclusively.

The images develop as layers of thinly diluted paint are applied to wet paper.

 

I am inspired by the work of Liane Collot d’Herbois, an artist grounded in Anthroposophy, and learned much from her understanding of light, darkness and color. Monica Gold, art therapist in West Vancouver, has been an exceptional teacher.

 

Blockmounting preserves the painting “as if still wet”.
