Mesa Arch

| Mesa Arch |
When I was looking through one of my art books, I came across a watercolor technique that looked interesting. The artist used hot glue to fragment their painting into sections so the paint could mix on the paper. I tried hot glue and it stuck to even Arches cold press watercolor paper. I tried it a few more times using masking fluid instead. I painted with a limited pallet being careful to let the paint naturally mix on the paper. The end result is "Mesa Arch" a 11' x 14.5" original watercolor on Arches 300lb Cold press paper. I feel it almost has a stained glass effect with the transparent watercolors. I am inspired by the landscapes in Utah with the colorful red, orange and earth tones. This scene is from Arches National Park. Contact me for current availability of the this painting.
