BLUE WATERS A WORK IN PROGRESS
copyright jvaux 2008
I have NO particular reason for choosing this piece except I did promise a picture in my previous post and this one certainly matches todays's weather in Sydney.
A continual flow of water!
It's based on an black and white photocopy of an small watercolor I gave to someone as a present which I found while searching my old files and scanned and recolored.
I'm probably going to do some more work on this "airbrush" it in Gimp and myabe turn it into yet another small print that will go unsold until the Muses know when?
Meanwhile oh faithful few enjoy the work in progress!
I'm doing some more watercolors at the moment so some time later this month or in May you'll get to see what I do when I'm using SHOCK an NON digital brush ... the ORGANIC ones with REAL hair which I prefer though some of the nylon synthetics can be good!
Protein chains have qualities polymer chains lack if you're covering small areas of paper?
For those of you who ONLY use computers for art ... there's something about the feel of pigment sliding from the brush and soaking into the paper which is one of the reasons people do watercolor!
Perhaps its the sensation of flux and connection ... your idea or inspiration changing into the physical movement of fingers on a brush handle and then watching the wet colors flow and change?
If the only "brush" you've used manipulates pixels try paint on paper sometime?!
If you've used both I'ld to hear how you feel about hte advantages and disadvantages of digital versus traditional?
