KaySmithBrushworks: Fairy Rose - a mixed media figure

15x22 watermedia, mixed, on watercolor paper from a failed painting of a birdbath and geraniums. I turned it horizontally then drew the fairy figure in ink, then using acrylics, leaving some of the original work showing through.

Artist's Statement

"Working from dark to light provides me with immediate gratification seeing value comparisons. Whether I'm painting architectural subjects, animals, floral or still life, I am always looking for the darks first. By establishing these values early, I'm better able to judge the values that follow.

Since creating art is a solitary pursuit, I become absorbed and as one with the painting. Initial excitement usually drives me headlong into a sketching mode with or without value studies. Primarily I work from photographs.

I paint because I have to paint; I want to show you what I see. Viewing my works will be a revelation of who I am.

Remember this: Good art won't match your sofa!"
