Intensity of a Color
This summer I won a set of QoR watercolors from Golden Paints as a merchandise award for my painting Grand Entrance at the Red River Watercolor Society National Juried Watermedia Exhibition. I experimented with them on top of this painting. The color came alive thus the name “Electric Light Orchestra”! You are probably not used to seeing this much intensity in my work. Regarding color, intensity means the lightness or brightness of a color. Intense colors are usually pure pigments but can be mixed with a neighbor on the color wheel to change the hue. Wouldn’t this little gem of an original brighten up a room?
I found the QoR paints work particularly well on top of my Winsor Newton Paints. They lift easily and helped me finish my painting “Tethered” which was accepted into the American Watercolor Society’s 2021 International Exhibition – probably the highest honor of my career. I hope to show that piece to you in May.
Sincerely,
