"Rainy Day Cherry Blossoms" 16" x 18" $650 |
When I write something I am enthusiastic about, I know that I add too many exclamation points. It has occurred to me recently that I probably do the same thing in my paintings. In my watercolors, I often use exaggerated color to communicate living energy. Sometimes that enthusiastic color can get a little overwhelming.
I've been painting more cherry blossoms, but I'm trying to capture the delicate petals with more delicate color. As I tone down my palette, I'm having to think more about value (a very good thing!) and I am discovering paint combinations that make the most rich and interesting neutrals. Who knows where this will take me next?
