Aquaworld




Although this work may appear to have a recognizable subject, I am calling it an abstract. The paper is 140 lb hot press paper. The painting was started with no pre-conceived thought or direction. I poured small quantities of masking fluid in different areas on the paper. With water spray, I sprayed the edges of each of these areas of masking fluid and tilted the paper to encourage them to move in random patterns. After the masking fluid was dry, I turned the paper in different directions. Blue and violet watercolors were poured onto the surface and moved with a spray of water. With only blue and violet, I was sensing water movement. The rock-like shapes were applied with paint squeezed from the tube onto a plastic card which became my painting tool. More spraying of water and a minimal amount of brush work and AQUAWORLD appeared.
