IMAGINATION AND PAINT
It is a beautiful day and I think we should all grab our imaginations, pack up some paints and create something ! This week , we will use a photo of a lovely Victorian home that I came upon on during one of my walks. I enjoy painting architecture, but sometimes I want to step away from my photos and use my imagination to create something a little different. You may wonder is there only one way to paint with watercolors? The answer is no! When we paint we can make many choices that will allow us to use our imagination and make a view or still life or figurative painting that is a little different and special. We are artists and that means we can all make choices when we create! Give yourself permission to use your imagination! Henri Edmund Cross " La Dogna" 1903 WC As artists we can choose to use loose, imaginative brush strokes on dry paper. We can create a landscape using the broken brush stroke methods of an American impressionist... Childe Hassam " Flag series...
