When Things Go Right
Some people like to really work at their watercolours; sponging, scraping, scratching, moving paint around, until they have the effect that they want. I have what I feel is a purer approach, remeniscent of Oriental painting perhaps. I like to lay on the washes as cleanly and simply as possible, retaining their transparency and only overpainting where necessary. There are fewer opportunities for correcting mistakes with this method, so not every painting is successful, but when things go right there is a beautiful glow from the light reflecting through the paint, almost like the effect of a stained-glass window.
