There's a lightness in the dark Painting

Original watercolour and ink. One of a collection of deep and dark watercolours using vibrant watercolour and washes, allowing it to flood to give an intensity of pigment. Details are enjoyed where the washes meet and drying is happening. Whilst still wet the painting is worked into with pencil, pen and pastels. The pastel melts away to create a deep pigment and leaves a texture on the surface. Paint splashes and expressive lines give a movement and emotion to the works. This series were made during a long weather storm, with huge winds and rains that lasted for 10 days. Hearing the rain and wind outside there was a persistence and constantness to the weather, that was almost reassuring. The weather definitely got in and these emotive paintings are the result. If you are interested in the whole collection (not all are listed) please contact me. The painting is on thick paper (550gsm) and unframed. There is a good border before and a torn edge to the paper. Some background to the broader work is here: I sea swim and paint the experience. The feeling of immersion, the physical movement and the sensations of the water. The waves and the colours of the water, the sea glimpses as I swim and float. I love the movement of watercolour, its tactile luscious flows. I enjoy how transient and immediate it is and how as much as I can control it there is an element of going with the flow and adapting in the moment. I also make artworks in porcelain ceramic. My work on paper leads directly into these artworks. I find working with watercolour a fantastic companion to the precise and lengthly processes involved in my ceramic work.
