Three Sisters
Watercolour and Photoshop™
©2013 Charlene Brown
Last week’s painting reminded me of a picture I painted in
1991 at a workshop led by California artist,
Barbara Nechis.
When I searched out that 1991 painting of
the Three Sisters (shown on the left, below) I also found a floral painted at
the same workshop. The first was done as
an exercise following Barbara’s demonstration of negative painting, the second
after her demonstration of wet-in-wet painting. I was asked why I had chosen to split the
shading of the gradient on this second painting right in the middle.
Of course I couldn’t answer that as I hadn’t actually intended to do it
that way. But now I have my answer… it
provides a nicely balanced overlay for the first painting (Photoshop Blending
mode>Multiply>Opacity>70%). The
2013 Three Sisters exists only on my
computer.
