Drawn to the Sea

Watercolor - 10"x14"

An intuitive painting is a painting that is created as as artist responds to each color and mark while the painting is in process. In Drawn to the Sea I chose my palette of blues and greens and as I painted I began to feel the movement of water within the image. If you look closely to the darker area in the top left quadrant you'll see I introduced a bit of magenta in a splash, to counter-balance the large motion of a wave on the right side. As I paint I reflect on the design that is emerging and I add and subtract color to the painting to emphasize the feeling the painting produces and to create a pleasing display. I hope the viewer feels both the rise and fall in this painting.
