This photo hints at the inspiration for my painting in the Tennessee Watercolor Society’s latest exhibit. 30 different artists are participating, and the show runs from June 4 – July 30 at FiftyForward Donelson Station Gallery.


Mystery Technique

Mystery Technique #150

Curious about the techniques used here? You can learn more next month if you’ve signed up for email updates! 

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #149:

This technique combines granulating watercolors with rubbing alcohol!  First I created a wet-in-wet mixture of Lunar Blue and Rose of Ultramarine. While the paint still had a wet sheen, I quickly added multiple drops of rubbing alcohol. The alcohol pushed the water away, leaving behind a series of nesting circular shapes.
