About this artwork
My approach in creating this series is to find the story , find the narrative. I know I will be exploring a theme of figures gathering with in aplace or experience but the details and of what that is a creative discovery as I proceed in my process of layering the washes and gestures in watercolor.
I lay out the figures into the blank picture, I then take the time to study the gestures created. Slowly the figurative gestures reveal to me the clothes… they are wearing, the mood they are feeling, and in some cases, the drink they are drinking. Then the process begins as I articulate the mood and the impression of a narrative.
In the end, however, I enjoy the journey of keeping that narrative a mystery and invite the viewer in to create their own story.
