Meditation Painting

Depiction of a Chinese Monk in a Temple in Wuhan. This figurative work takes advantage of watercolor’s fresh look of paint on paper— areas that are left to the paper catch the light. This serene image is a combination of my own photography from a trip to China and choices of what to depict and what to leave out. As to the materials, this is painted on 300lb Arches Watercolor Rough Surface. I paint all the way to the edges, so the work has slight holes I repair all the way around. I personally show the work floated in a shadowbox frame so I can see the deckle edge and all. I look to use high quality light-fast watercolor tube paint. Watercolor can be tricky. To build up this kind of color, many layers are painted in flat washes piled on top of each other, sometimes even 20 layers are required, while some areas are reserved for the white paper to show through.
