Interrupted, watercolor, 18¾ x 18¾" (48 x 48 cm)
I am enamored by light and color. This image presented the opportunity to capitalize on both; each lending energy and emotion to the instant of my model’s
expression. The ambience suggested by the directional light was staged in the photography. My purposeful “wet on dry” application of paint assures the purity of
the accents of color that permeate the painting.
from my photographic reference,
I begin with a careful and detailed
contour drawing. Once I begin
painting, my technique is primarily
wet on dry and relies on multiple
washes/glazes of color to achieve the
transparency and luminosity I desire
in my work. Consequently, my process
requires a great deal of time, and I relish
the careful, unhurried pace needed to
complete the work. This approach lends
itself to capturing the desired expression
and likeness of my subject. As
I immerse myself in the painting, the
memory of my initial encounter with
my subject allows me the opportunity
to revisit the connection that initially
inspired me to want to paint them.
