Encaustic Watercolour

Water media

I always like to explore with many layers in watercolour. I find this medium is very conducive to applying several layers and having a multitude of underneath visual treats to observe. Here are a few examples of this technique. The paper has so many layers of paint that it feels almost like leather. 

Water Lily Series

I tend to get an attraction to a subject and then a series comes to life. I like working on a series as it is a exciting way to explore different ways of expressing styles and mediums. This summer was a time for Water Lilies. I had the opportunity to go canoeing in Northern B.C., we canoed in an estuary that looked like a filtering system for the lake. It was so clear  is was magical. Here are some photos and pictures of the paintings this summer. Enjoy!
