Watercolors
Watercolors is lots of fun.
It is sometimes substituting the snapshots I take with the digital camera, or mix the two media.
But I have defined for myself a few things that I would like to propose:
1) Technique.
To me the main characteristic of watercolor painting is IMMEDIATENESS: watercolor painting is a moody thing.
And if you put the right emotions in it, watercolor will come out just right.
2) Format.
Aren't you tired of the 4:3 format of the TV screen? Nothing more far away from the reality of human vision. And what about the vertical shape imposed by portraitists?
That's why I settled my watercolors on horizontal bases and 16:9 format, because it's the way our eyes see, after all ...
