Water

8/13/2012

 
I had some time off work and decided to try my hand at painting water. My first attempt however was far from successful. I ended up with a series of colors with no form. I realized how challenging water really is. To see the whole and the details at the same time. It's transparent and reflective. Fluid and dense. Constantly in motion with broken patterns. Water will take a lot more study.

I've dug up every spare canvas I could find to start making studies and sketches. Visiting creeks, streams and lakes to watch the water and hopefully learn to understand what I see. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Here are some recent photos I've taken (of water).

I love to just sit and gaze at water. I marvel at how it can be so peaceful yet strong and powerful, all at the same time. A study of the movement and intensity of water would be very calming and enriching - enjoy your study.

I love t.The first two photos--it looks like they have rainbows captured in them.
