Exhibitors in 2019 Show


Lenny

 Lenny continues to perfect her watercolour techniques!  For this life-like portrait of Bonnee, she first mapped out her drawing and applied a light colour wash to the dog.   Once dry, additional glazes of translucent colour were used to suggest areas of light and shadow, giving her work a rich, three-dimensional quality.
  
For the background, a wet on wet cobalt wash contrasts with the bright, copper colour of the dog,  adding emphasis to the subject while tying the composition together.  Lenny's excellent eye for shape, form, colour and value can be seen in her other animal portraits and still life paintings as well.  More to post soon!   Lovely work, Lenny!
