Brenda Turnour: Watercolours

Whether working with a limited palette, such as burnt sienna, raw sienna and ultramarine, or a palette encompassing all the colours of the spectrum, to paint a tree trunk, I love the myriad of expression possible with watercolours.  Many different interpretations can evolve from one simple subject.

I love the flow, the transparency, the luminosity and the whites of watercolour and will always return to watercolour even though I enjoy experimentation with other mediums.
