In these three quick watercolour, the power of suggestion is key.
In this image, just as I have shown in my tutorials, I have applied juicy paint into the negative space which automatically reveals the figure. I used the same colours in the background for shading and detail in the figure. Remember all colour reflects. The whites are dry white paper.
This quote from Orson Wells could well apply to painting……..
‘I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they wont contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you.’
Rapid watercolours allow me to capture the essence and show the major characteristic of my subject.
Remember fifteen minutes of play a day:)
Happy painting.

My Life as an Artist (2) 
Your paintings are such a pleasure to gaze at in the morning… a pleasure and an inspiration.
and one more thing, I love the quote from Orson Wells. That is one of the key rules to my understanding of art.
Thank you Shimon….One of my favourite quotes as well:)
I agree with Shimon.It is an art in itself.:)xx
Thank you Katherine:)xx
Yes, the power of suggestion goes a long way, I think that’s why I like impressionism so much. Like Shimon, I’m enjoying your work each day, a treat for sure.xxx
Thank you Dina…Wishing you a wonderful weekend:)xxx
