Title: “Silent Beauty”
Medium: Watercolor
Comments From The Artist: I am familiar with oils and I would say I am accomplished in Oils. However, I have not touched a brush of any kind since 1986 when I lost my son in an accident. I failed to see beauty for many years. This time has passed and at the persuasion of my husband and a friend who gave me some watercolors and paper, I tried to do watercolor. I am teaching myself and observing many different techniques.
The fist one was done and 3 years passed, I have now resummed full speed ahead to get my feet WET. “SILENT BEAUTY” is my second finished project. Finding and allowing myself time seems to be the biggest problem. I am enjoying.

Technique of Watercolor Painting: WC07 PLANNING
By John Blenkin
It is not a matter of preference but of personality. To a great extent the subject will decide the issue. A painting of a building a design a specific place – a record painting a commissioned painting will usually lead the painter into an approach where pre-planning naturally results.
In this type of work pre-planning will reduce errors and the target idea will more likely to be realized. Any measured work – enlarging – portraiture anything technical animal bird or plant illustrations are usually best planned beforehand. Professional work to deadline is a pre-planning must.
In general where the subject of the painting has to conform to the requirements or standards of others or to a specified known standard for a fee by a certain date it is best to pre-plan.
