I sometimes begin with a reference , look for the major shapes, then with a prepared watercolor palette, lots of water and a large brush, I paint large dabs of color. I pick up the paper, turn, add more color, and let the drips show me the direction the painting will go. Sometimes a grid is formed, and I can lay in color, keeping values and contrasts in mind. I add surface textures, employing the effects of wax resist, collage, and multiple layers of paint. Subject matter ranges from landscape and built environments to the figure, animals, and still life.
