Description
That Place is a gritty, moody, simplified study of a seascape executed on the inside paper cover of a watercolor block, which happens to have a most intriguing texture, and accepts water differently than watercolor paper. The paper of the original is warped from the water and a bit worn and scratched from being carried around outdoors and serving the intended purpose of protecting the paper inside. I think that is part of the appeal on this one. Sometimes I just need to do something that is intuitive and completely unrefined, with the goal of capturing a fleeting feeling. I used a limited palette of only three colors of paint and the white of the paper to depict the clouds, land and water that make up the composition. Watercolor is uniquely suited to sketches such as this, portraying the natural elements and the moods they evoke. And the paper cover itself was saved from its destiny in the recycling bin, so in a very small way this painting contributes to a healthier environment.
