Hello Everybody!

About 2017

Such amazing year, I am really thankful: no words to say thank you to my workshop managers and  to all artists who attended my courses in different countries! I must confess,  my year was not so easy, too many travels and workshops but you really helped me a lot with your energy, enthusiasm and friendship. Thanks ,obrigado, to all my students in Brazil too...they are amazing! I travel a lot and I am really grateful to them, they wait for me patiently!

About my Technique/My Personal Experience

​

Here you can see 8 pictures taken during my Newsletter painting process (Poinsettia 9).

​A few notes about these pics:


A - I draw the main shapes only. I don’t need to draw everything, all petals, leaves, etc. I like to play with unexpected and happy accidents. Take risks, don’t plan everything. Unexpected accidents are the best friend of loose and spontaneous watercolors.

B and C - I like to save the white of the paper, it is the most powerful light. Sometimes I save the white of the paper ( I just leave white areas) or I lift out paint and restore the white areas. 

D - I paint everything at the same time, flower and background. I go back and forth, I look for soft edges all the time, I aim to balance everything, foreground and background. I create depth with hard/ soft edges and basically my soft edges come out if I paint everything at the same time

E - A few blooms are happy accidents, take advantage of them. They can be part of your background when you want to paint loose.

F, G and H - Work with positive and negative shapes all the time: you will understand light/ shadow better, your focal point is going to be stronger.
