Statement I am primarily a watercolour painter because I enjoy the freshness and flow of the watercolour paint on the paper. I also enjoy the 'light' that can be achieved with the white of the paper shining through and contrasting with the shapes and colour of the washes. Recently I have explored watercolour with collage, intuitive watercolour mono printing and watercolour with multi-media as well as acrylic inks. |   |
