Today we looked at “Rosehip” by Stina Persson, and practised using similar techniques that the artist used, to create our own artwork.
The technique used is where you lay down an area, or a shape, using plain water, and then add a wet colour medium to that section while the water is still wet. This creates interesting and exciting mergings and juxtapositions of colour, where there is a blooming, a blossoming, a blending, a backrun, a fanning, a spilling, a seeping, a cauliflower… along with the sharper meeting between wet water and dry paper along the shape’s edges.
We used watercolour paint, ready made ‘liquid watercolour’, and ink.
I feel this was a very celebratory penultimate session for our - extended - Summer of Experimental Watercolour project. Well done again and really good work today, everyone!
