Diversion

The World Watercolour Month idea belongs to Charlie O’Shields and you can find all the prompts to inspire paintings on the Doodlewash website.

Day 2 Diversion

I’ve gone very ‘off piste’ on this prompt and I am beginning to think I may deviate for the rest of the month. I love to experiment and I have ideas on incorporating collage into my watercolour world.

This prompt has really made me think about what is important about my art. Collage has become a big part of my artistic journey and I will be incorporating more randomness over the next four weeks! i will also be experimenting with wet-into-wet technique.

I went on a workshop with Jake Winkle who can perform absolute make with wet-into-wet technique. I also adore the work of Canadian artist Michael Solovyev who is an absolute master of the technique and is a featured artist on the Doodlewash website.

So Diversion for me is about moving watercolour into a new direction and enjoying the randomness!

Day 2 complete.
