I do so love painting with the fluidity and flow of watercolour, harnessing its unique characteristics to reflect and evoke the beauty of the natural world, and what better subject could I have chosen than flowers to encourage a joyful and playful use of liberated colour.
In this curated selection of painting demonstrations, introductory projects and films from my Patreon* membership group you will begin to see how I take the subject of florals and botanicals and let them open up a whole world of connection, curiosity and introspection. By allowing ourselves to communicate with our subject and the evolving art we create out of this, we are able to enter a mindful state of 'flow' and celebrate our innate connection with the world in which we live.
If you are fascinated by the mindset of an artist at work, and want to understand how decisions are made as the painting progresses, this series of films and projects will give you an insight into my personal creative process. If you are looking for information on the art materials and techniques I use in my watercolours, then my reaction to abstraction approach will encourage you to explore the art of composition and help you to create a series of joyful and positive work as I walk you through one of my painting projects.
Colour, composition, techniques, materials, mark making... all of these and more will be addressed and available for you to focus on at your leisure.
And with the opportunity to purchase a curated selection of Wallace Seymour's Vintage Watercolours you too can be seduced by the alchemy, colour and freedom inherent in this most organic of mediums …
It is time to welcome in a world of possibilities, the possibilities of joyous colour, shifting light, captured shapes, expressive line and nuanced texture.
