Most of this was painted on a very wet piece of paper but I was careful to allow for the color spreading and was able to save the white areas. I used Fabriano Artistico 140# paper because it was the only paper I had that was really white. It was easy to work on but it isn't as strong as some other papers that I've used.

DeleteBonjour,
ReplyDeleteMon Dieu quel mouvement ! Quelle superbe aquarelle. Il y a une telle puissance, une telle énergie dans cette vague qui se fracasse !

Merci Martinealison
DeleteOh I do love the tempest of the sea and the blues are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe sea is truly amazing. I could watch waves crash all day.
DeleteThank you Peter. I do like the size of it. Maybe I'll try one even larger next time. : )
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness! This is so powerful - so beautiful! And it's transparent watercolor!! The very thought of having to save the whites is intimidating! I am scared to death of watercolor (but enjoy acrylics on paper)...Your work is always amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosemary. I find it intimidating to save whites also but for some reason, this painting was very relaxing to paint.
DeleteAwesome, my first thought was she had to use mask or some resist, but no ... patient girl. Certainly shows the majesty and power. Just a wonderful painting and love the large size, dominates. Best
ReplyDeleteThank you Nelvia. I did use a little masking for the small, white dots/splashes of white. I'm not that patient. : )
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely dynamic painting! Love it!
