Aguarela, 23 x 30 cm, papel Canson CP

City Hall, Cortland NY

Watercolor, 9 x 12", Canson CP paper

Red Barn

Sao Martinho do Porto, Portugal

An experimental work, where I forced myself to paint very fast and ignore detail to achieve a more impressionistic look. It also involved more "glazing" (dry layering) than usual. This was inspired by the methods of Roy Simmons, a master of fast watercolor.

Um trabalho experimental em que me forcei a pintar rápidamente e omitir detalhes  para obter um resultado mais impressionista. Foi inspirado pelos métodos de Roy Simmons, um mestre de aguarela rápida e solta. Involveu também mais “glazing” (sobreposição de camadas secas de tinta) do que é comum para mim.

Watercolor 8 x 10" on Canson Art Board

A loose impressionistic watercolor of the beautiful church I ran into while driving through Cortland, NY. Here I tried to vaguely emulate the minimalist style of one of my favorite masters of watercolor, the late Edward Wesson. I will never come close to his sheer genius, but I can keep learning.

Nesta aguarela tentei usar métodos impressionistas e minimalistas de um dos meus mestres preferidos de Aguarela, Edward Wesson (1910-1983). Nunca me aproximarei do seu génio natural, mas posso sempre continuar a aprender.
