I finished the kitchen drawer painting today. Unfortunatly, I had to put it in a frame and deliver it to a competition before photographing it. Maybe I can retrieve it this weekend for photographing.
This was an ambitious endeavor for the amount of time. My mother went in the hospital this last week, which made finishing this painting more insane.
It felt like working on a puzzle. I resorted to fitting each little shape together. I ran out of time and turned what was left to do more abstract. Maybe that will give a balance for the tedious detail.
I wish I had time to work out bugs on this one, that may happen after the show.
In the end I did a wash of golden ochre. This helps to pull a congested painting more together.
About Me
- Jane Huggins
- I am a watercolor artist. My paintings are bold, and full of color. Most of my work takes time. The world around me is my inspiration. A camera is in my hand whereever I go. I like a painting to be strong enough in composition to be appealing from across the room, but when viewed up close I my audience should enjoy the details. Watercolor has so many attitudes and possibilities, I am always exploring. Most people comment on how unforgiving watercolor is. If good paper is used it is very forgiving. Being and educator I love to teach classes. I first instruct students on how to control brushes, the flow of paint and of course the water. I teach beginning to advanced students. Many opt to pay a little more to use my supplies solely. This is an excellent way to learn that success depends on the foundation of good materials. This is very cost efficient for beginners also. I always say there is an artist in everyone.
