Abstract Wash

Watercolor painting seems to largely involve applying washes of color while developing soft and hard edges. How you articulate these edges you paint is really descriptive of your subject matter and reflect your signature style at the same time.

The quinacridone violet I used here reminds me of a visit to the mall, in Washington DC, in the spring, when the cherry trees are in bloom. We carry these strong color associations with us throughout our lives.

The hard edges in this image guide your eye through the landscape which I find fascinating. My parting wisdom is that it is always rewarding to play with color to see where it will take you.
