watercolors
planning, control, and patience
When using watercolors, every painting begins with a thumbnail sketch and value and color decisions. After the drawing is lightly sketched, either masking fluid or the first wash layer is laid down, preserving some of the whites of the paper. As each layer must be completely dry before the next, and many of her pieces have between 50 and 80 layers, it is not unusual for Sue to be working on 3-4 pieces at different stages at the same time. Watercolor can't be rushed, and neither should you! So, take your time, look around, and take a moment to drop me a line!
