| Watercolor is a beautiful, transparent medium in which the paper is visible through all but the final layers of paint. The multiple layering of pigment is a slow process, but the result of this patient work is an exceptional clarity and depth, that lends itself well to the depiction of animals. During this process, I use fine bristle brushes in a dry brush technique to paint individual hairs in detail, a process that may take many hours to complete a single portrait. Therefore, the time required for a portrait depends upon how much detail is involved. |
